 The Winter Garden: Warming Recipes from Four Season Farm
Food & Wine, by Nancy Harmon Jenkins, February 2003
ON THE COAST of Maine, where winter temperatures can go well below freezing and stay there for days—weeks—at a time, winter gardening mostly involves spreading seed catalogs out on the kitchen table and dreaming of May and June. But not for Barbara Damrosch and Eliot Coleman, who live down past Blue Hill, a town on the east side of Penobscot Bay, on one of those long, rocky peninsulas for which Maine is renowned.....

 Catching the Retreating Sun for Fresh Greens
New York Times, by Anne Raver, November 4, 2001
A LIGHT frost has turned most of my vegetable garden to brown vines, but the collards and mustard greens love the cool weather. It's satisfying work, pulling up the old tomato and bean vines, and raking in winter rye seed, so that this green manure, or cover crop, will enrich and lighten the soil....

 Rare Treat: Brooksville gardeners open their gates for charity
People Places and Plants, photos by Lynn Karlin, Summer 2000
GARDEN writers Eliot Coleman and Barbara Damrosch have traveled the world to speak to the masses more times than they could ever remember. The narrow road back to their tiny hamlet of Harborside in the town of Brooksville has always been a quiet, solitary retreat. For one historic day in the summer of 2000, that will all change. Ten families have banded together to host the town's first ever garden tour July 22, with all proceeds benefiting the local library....

 Taste for Growing, American Profile, by Barbara Damrosch, September 2000
"WORK," says Eliot Coleman, spreading compost over a bed in his Harborside, Maine, greenhouse, "is what you're doing when you'd rather be doing something else."
"If that's true, I've never worked a day in my life."
As a matter of fact, he does seem to be having fun. Coleman is tanned, lean, and fit in a way most 61-year-olds would envy. And he's grinning....

 The Good Life: Coleman and Damrosch create their own version of utopia
People Place and Plants, text and photos by Elizabeth Stehle and Paul Tukey, Spring 1997
HARBORSIDE is a sleepy sort of town, where granite hills and blueberry barrens cover the land and lobster boats dot the adjacent sea. In most spots, the town's winding road is too narrow for more than one car to pass at a time. Dodging the gazing tourists becomes a requisite skill in summer....

 The Contrary Garden: Market welcomes year-round produce
People, Places, and Plants, text by Paul Tukey photos by Lynn Karlin, Fall 1997
ELIOT Coleman and Barbara Damrosch, outside their home in Harborside last January, supplied the Blue Hill Food Co-op and other local markets with fresh produce from October to May. They make it sound so simple. Gardening doesn't have to end in October, or December, or even February. It doesn't begin in March or May. With the eloquent passion of Down East preachers, Eliot Coleman and Barbara Damrosch are trying to convince the cold world to just say no to the standard gardening calendar. The proof is in the vegetables they harvest at their Harborside home every day of the year, just as Eliot has done at his previous homes in northern New England for the past two decades.....
