Bill Perry of Elkridge Furnace Inn said, “We’ve expanded our organic garden… that’s where we grow most of herbs, and a lot of our lettuce. Across the street we have about 400 square feet where we’re growing fingerling potatoes… a lot of the vegetables we’re using aren’t just coming from a farm, they’re coming from our backyard.”
