Bumper crop at East Farm

Last Saturday's URI East Farm open house set an attendance record, with about 3,000 people showing up on a just about perfect day to buy plants, pet some animals, and interrogate master gardeners. (I still know nothing about tomatoes, OK? Nothing! Can't stand them!)

They had expected around 2,000.

Rudi Hempe, who heads up the experimental vegetable garden project, filed a full report on the event for the cooperative extension newsletter.

Hey. URI is a state university. It's a free, educational event. The Fisheries guys hand out chowder. Everybody wins.
