Michael Pollan visited Bridgewater State College this spring and local farmers Ron Maribett of Colchester Neighborhood Farm and Frank Albani of Golden Rule Farm, and Soule Homestead, one of our partnership farmers, joined in a lunch time soiree where Pollan reinforced his strong interest in the local veggie diet.
Ron,
