WINTER GREENS

摘要

On a brisk winter day when even the bright sun looks cold, I make my way to Elsewhere Farm outside of Herbster, Wis., to learn more about Clare Hintz and her year-round farm. You don't typically hear of farmers harvesting luscious salad mixes in January in the northernmost tip of Wisconsin. But then again, nothing about Clare Hintz is :typical.For the past10 years, Clare has planted hundreds of apple, pear and other fruit trees throughout her 40-acre spread. She spends her summers harvesting freshvegetables for local stores, restaurants and farmers' markets from her large vegetable garden. But, like many farmers, she's seeking creative ways to secure income in the cold months.
