There are beans and corn to pick at Shepherd's Field. Particularly for
the corn, please read the instructions Don left on the door of the
shed. Note that the beans (and probably the corn) were fertilized with
Sumner's biosolids. There has been a lot of discussion about the use
of biosolids for edibles. Here's one article that will give you some
information about the debate. People have strong feelings on both
sides of this! http://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/16/biosolids-and-human-health/

Here is the flyer that Sumner puts out. They test for heavy metals,
but not pharmaceuticals.
