Have you met Emma Dudley yet? Emma and her husband, Cornelius, are the people behind C&E Farm who bring gorgeous plants, herbs and produce to us from Glenn Dale. Emma and Cornelius grew up on farms but started gardening as a hobby in their Chillum backyard. They were very fortnuate to get 15 acres in Glenn Dale, and the farm has grown a lot since that first backyard plot. C&E Farm has now been in operation for 13 years. Every year, they add new crops including ethnic vegetable varieties, herbs, flowers and firewood. They are proud to say that their produce is grown without synthetic chemicals.
Emma says that the things she loves most about her farm is the people that she meets and seeing things grow. She enjoys nurturing plants and people and the exercise that comes as part of running a farm.
The farm offers pick-your-own vegetables and farm activities for children...sounds like a fun field trip!
Now, here's the thing that you may not know about Emma unless you chat with her: she was a german major at Howard when she met her husband. Stop by and say hi to Emma at the Market...and let her know that Diese Gemüse sehe köstlich! (Those vegetables look delicious!")
