Scio that has traditionally grown summer savory and he is still responsible for drying and packaging this beloved local herb. Jeremy brings to the Food Producers Forum decades of hands-on experience in agriculture. He believes there are ways we can move ahead through small-scale inventiveness applied to the devices and techniques we use. Small improvements can generate real efficiencies.
