As the Shirley family farm continues to grow, so does the community it celebrates. Nina’s mega-garden, with a large gathering table at its heart, provides a bounty of delicious food as well as a sense of connection and heritage. For the thrifty gardener, Nina shares a special family recipe that epitomizes her philosophy: we grow what we eat, we eat it together, and then share it with the people we love.

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

If you char your tomatoes, onions and peppers it will give your salsa an amazing flavor

I love your show and the genuineness of it. It's very inspiring for me as a 60 year old woman and seeing what I can do in my own backyard. I can't have the animals but I can have my gardens.
