September 17 at 9:00 AM
Class location:
Big Bowl
11915 Democracy Drive
Reston, VA 20190

Big Bowl’s popular dumplings are among the top served items at the restaurants. Served with either a classic ginger soy or a fiery hot pepper dip, these meaty little pockets do not fail to satisfy. In China, the making of dumplings is often a family activity, and recipes are passed down from generation to generation. Chef Oscar Huerta demystifies the crafting of dumplings, and will teach you how to make them at home. These popular cooking classes fill up quickly, so please call to reserve a place. Attendees will also each receive a recipe to take home.

Rustic Road Farm, by the numbers

Imagine a painter with a blank canvas, a teacher with a classroom of new students or a builder with a blueprint. Think of the potential or even the possible pitfalls. It can be overwhelming at first, but once you start, there's a momentum.

I'm the first-time farmer with five virgin, unlplowed acres and an empty barn. But a month later with momentum in place, it's looking like this:

100 pounds of seed potato, planted

1,600 onions, planted

1 new tractor, purchased, delivered, working

3 goats, delivered

35 yards of compost, spreaded

Have tractor, will farm

What kind of farmer would I be without a tractor?

It's pricey but much needed. We considerd buying used or even leasing. But at the end of the day, you want a warranty and service for the "just in case."

In honor of Earth Day

In honor of Earth Day, we are getting a jump start on our three year plan at Rustic Road Farm.

We originally had planned on starting the orchard next year, but we've pushed it to the immediate.

Today, we planted 20 apples trees. That's 10 honey crisp, five golden delicious and five jona-red (developed and patented by Cornell University, my alma mater).

Our goal is 20 trees each year for the next three years. We'll soon plant blackberres and raspberries. I'd call today a very good Earth Day!
