A Day in the Country:
Organic Gardening,
Herbs & the Garden of Eve

Story & Photos by Joanna Sawaya

 

I drive down an idyllic stretch of road; a bright landscape dotted with pumpkins and lined with proud cornstalks and happy sunflowers. 

When I arrive, little clouds of earth kick up around my shoes and I’m greeted by overeager goats and the sweet, subtle scent of mint.

An Organic Farm Dedicated to the Community

For a girl who grew up just minutes from one of the fastest paced cities in the world, life in the country never loses its appeal.

My experience at Garden of Eve has always been what a day in the country should be; fresh air, friendly faces, natural beauty, good, wholesome food.  Whether you live on the North Fork, the city, or anywhere in between, make this one of your destinations as well; its one you can feel good about.
