The Dyer Family Organic Farm (home of Dick’s “Pretty Good!” Garlic) has been featured in multiple publications, from hometown newspapers to national magazines, even the 2013 Harris’ Farmer’s Almanac’s 2013 Seasonal Gardening Guide! We are happy to be interviewed (or even filmed) for an article and will do our best to accommodate a tight deadline, but understandably, our family’s needs plus our farm’s field and market needs are our first priority.
