Showcased will be recently acquired horse-drawn farm equipment from Runnymede Farm in Woodside. The pieces have been meticulously restored by architect Adolph Rosekrans and donated to the Museum. Featured will be two types of Knapp Side-Hill Plows, which were developed and produced in Half Moon Bay. The Knapp Plow was specifically designed to allow West Coast farmers the ability to cultivate fertile hillsides. Also on display will be lithographs of farms on the Peninsula from 1878 created by Grafton Tyler Brown, an early African-American California artist.

Thank you for posting this. As a teacher who represents 500 teachers, we routinely pay out of our…Read More own pockets to support our students.

Jennifer, thank you for all your wonderful work on Patch. Life is a journey and you're on yours.…Read More It will be an amazing change for you and family. Real estate will definately be cheaper, which is my bigest gripe with rentals in the bay area. I wish you all the happiness you deserve. Linda Allen

Jennifer: I really enjoyed working with you on the story about the Barnes family and Ballet America…Read More back in December. Also liked "following you around town" on the other stories you covered. There will be lots of great people and exciting news back east -- not to worry. Best of luck.

This is a much more effective means for dealing with the issue. Legislation is not.

I agree, the public has the right to know what they are eating. It is absurd to be purchasing food…Read More that contains GMOs and not be able to know it is in the food....
why the secret if it is so safe???
I will not shop at any food stores that refuse to provide the public with information
on what I am eating or serving to the people I care about.
Trader Joes and Whole Foods have my loyalty for having the courage to stand up
against the big guys and set an example by doing what is right for the consumer
and not folding to pressure from Monsanto, Dupont and the other corporate giants that could care less about our safety and only care about how much money they can rake in.

I just saw your post about your missing dog and then the follow-up that you found him.

Best
