Meet the Farmer: Martha and Bill Brady of Moonrise Farm

Temecula Valley Slow Food — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 17:52:28 +0000

On a mere 2.5 acres in La Cresta, Martha and Bill Brady grow an amazing abundance of heirloom vegetables. These jewels of the farmers' market are not just certified organic, but biodynamic. Martha is a certified nurseryman, teaches composting for the state, and has a degree in agribusiness. Suffice it to say, she's a knowledgeable lady that produces great produce! Martha can tell you whatever you need to know about anything she grows. If you think those Rouge Vif (French for "red pumpkin") pumpkins are gorgeous but have no idea what to do with one, Martha can tell you; I have a feeling she must cook as well as she farms.
