Lee,
Another possibility - this is in NW PA about halfway between Pittsburg
and Erie. Darrel and Linda Frey at Three Sisters Farm, located in rural
Mercer County, in western Pa, 5 miles north of Sandy Lake. Address is
134 Obitz Road, Sandy Lake, Pa. 16145, phone:724- 376-2797.
www.bioshelter.com, e-mail defrey@bioshelter.com or defrey@toolcity.net.
<defrey@bioshelter.com> Darrel is not great about answering e-mails
(sorry, Darrel), so call if you don't get a reply soon.
Like the Martis they are long-time permaculturists running a CSA and
they also sell a gourmet salad mix (full of weeds!) to upscale
Pittsburgh restaurants. Linda has a wonderful eye for color and does
striking flower beds containing herbs, annual flowers (many edible),
strawberries as a ground cover, and maybe a fruit tree in the center.
Another fine edible landscape is at the home of Joe Jenkins, author of
Humanure. Nice hedge of blueberries, several cultivars fruiting in
sequence. The orchard is laid out with an eye for design, and so is the
vegetable garden. Contact PO Box 607, Grove City, PA 16127 USA; phone:
866-641-7141, mail@joseph-jenkins.com.
