The ever popular Persephone Farm marks 21 years in business this fall, and its 16th year of teaching young farmers. The farm sells vegetables, fruit, eggs and flowers in North Kitsap and on Bainbridge Island. Co-owners Rebecca Slattery and Louisa Brown receive about 100 applications each year for the four learning positions they offer. “We like to say the best crop we grow is our crop of beginning farmers,” Slattery said.
