From Sandy Soil to Basil Pesto

by Janine Strumpher
The residents of Ibis and Egret led by young co-worker, Elias, house leader, Eastlynne, and
resident, Glynnis, embarked on the mission of turning a sandy patch of land in their back yard
into a luscious organic garden. They started growing their own vegetables and herbs and then
took it a step further.
They have now produced their own home-made basil pesto with basil from their garden, pine
nuts that they harvested from pine cones collected in the village, and cheese from our own
dairy.
Requests have already been made for them to sell this delicacy at the Camphill market.
Well done all!
