Pumpkin greens are a staple in Zimbabwe. But they’re hard to find in the US. Until now. Producer Chris Burrell brings us the story of Tufts University’s New Entry Sustainable Farming Project. The program provides new immigrants in the U.S. with land, equipment and training to get a head start on taking up organic farming.
Visit from Rialto Restaurant – July 28, 2008

Their visit was part of a series, featured as a blog on the Rialto website, called Guerrilla Grilling. Watching them cook, Matthew Himmel, World PEAS CSA Coordinator, noticed that you can grill anything, including amaranth, water spinach, garlic chives, and squash blossoms.

Special Recognition — 2006 Glynwood Harvest Award Winner
In 2006, New Entry was recognized with the Glynwood Harvest Connecting Communities, Farmers and Food Award.
Glynwood Center helps communities address change in ways that conserve local culture and natural resources while strengthening economic well being.
Glynwood Center created the Harvest Awards program in 2003 to highlight work by individuals and organizations who are doing an exceptional job of supporting local and regional agriculture. The Awards help to identify and disseminate "best practice" ideas that will inspire others to take action within their own communities and build urban/rural coalitions in support of regional farmers.
In nominating New Entry, August Schumacher Jr., former Massachusetts Commissioner of Food and Agriculture and senior official at the USDA, wrote that New Entry: "...represents an excellent model for replication in other states, and initiatives in Maine, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and elsewhere have already been modeled on their work. It is innovative; it has strong local, regional and national support; and it is stimulating a rapid expansion of new immigrant farming initiatives across the region and the country."
