A little handcrafted love…

We are BIG supporters of local food and art. We appreciate the talented folks who grow our food, make our wine, beer and cider, and who creatively contribute to the PEC culture through their arts and crafts.

Cynthia had the opportunity to start enjoying  fresh salad greens in late April. With their hooped covers, Vicki’s Veggies were able to produce a wide variety of Asian greens, spinach and arugula.
