Sweet Briar Farms
Welcome back to the LocalHarvest newsletter!
Whether Spring is in full swing in your part of the country, or still loitering just around
the corner, one thing is certain: family farmers are hard at work. In shorts, no less. Or at
least some of them are - take Keith Cooper, of Sweet Briar Farms in Eugene, OR, for
example. When we called to interview him for this month's newsletter he reported that
they'd had a mild winter, "It got down to ten degrees one night, but I still wore shorts
underneath my coveralls. About the only time I'll put long pants on is when it's zero
degrees, there's snow on the ground, or I'm going to the local rodeo." Good thinking. For
more on Keith's philosophy, read on.
