Tour ReVision Urban Farm (in pictures!)
ReVision Urban Farm in Dorchester, MA
ReVision Urban Farm began as a small garden in 1990 alongside a shelter for homeless mothers that is now the ReVision Family Home. Originally called ReVision House, the program began as a very small grassroots effort to positively impact the lives of young homeless mothers and their children. With the purchase of three abandoned lots across the street, a plot of land was reclaimed in the heart of Boston to become the ReVision Urban farm that is in operation today. When I visited the farm with fellow Food Warrior Rebecca Bilodeau, we were able to see one of the new plots of land where volunteers and farm staff were constructing raised beds and hard at work.
Let’s take a look!
Revision’s greenhouse and one of its plots of land are nearby Blue Hill Avenue, one of the main streets that runs through the neighborhood of Dorchester.

Summer 2012 Boston Food Warrior
This post is from one of the interns in the Real Time Farms Food Warrior Internship Program. These interns are collecting data, pictures, and video on the growing practices of our nation’s farms, gathering food artisans’ stories, and documenting farmers markets. We all deserve to know where our food comes from! Boring legalese we feel we must include: this was written by a real live person who has their own opinions, which we value, but that do not necessary reflect, though they may (or may not), reflect the values and opinions of Real Time Farms. That is for you to guess and us to know.

Tour Clear Flour Bread (in pictures!)
Clear Flour Bread in Brookline, MA
Clear Flour Bread specializes in making the authentic breads of Italy and France. “Clear flour essentially is the beginning stage of the milling process, so basically you are taking the wheat from the truck that it is coming in and you are stripping it – it is called the clearing of the flour, so hence the name,” shares manger Carrie Diana.
Using pure ingredients – flour, water, salt and yeast – they scratch, mix, and hand shaped long fermented doughs for stone hearth baking. All of their flours are unbleached and unbromated. The rye, whole wheat, buckwheat, and 7-grain blend are all organic and stone ground.

Sunshine in a Jar: Rose Geranium Apricot Jam
While we in the Midwest are sweating away the hours this summer, it may not come to mind that in only a few short months the days will be shorter and cooler, until another winter will be upon us. The age-old tradition of “putting up” jars of summer fruit not only allows you to purchase fresh fruits at their peak, but also makes them keep to be enjoyed on a colder, less sunshine-filled day. Fresh apricots right off the tree are something which has little to nothing in common with the canned version found on the grocery store shelf. Picking sun-ripened apricots from a local grower and preserving them yourself can capture that sunshine of the summer day you picked them. Continue reading
