An Interview with Mark Dunlea, Executive Director of Hunger Action Network of New York and the start of iEat Green’s Summer Cooking Classes.

Hi Everybody,

It seems that the minute I think Spring is finally here, it goes and gets colds again. I am feeling way behind in my garden and I still have so much to do. I need to remember to breath, and take in one moment at a time. Ahhhh!

On that note, we are looking for volunteers to help spearhead the 2014 Long Island Small Farm Summit. If you are interested, please let me know, and I will pass your name on to the committee.
