Summary

“You’re my first customer!” I was delighted to be greeted with this exclamation when, after rolling up to Sasha Kocho Williams’ annual plant sale, I got enticed into picking up some gorgeous homemade bread, muffins, and cranberry lemonade before I even made it to the array of plant starts. Two of Sasha’s four children were running the tent, selling a beautiful array of baked goods in paper packets, eggs, flowers, homemade salves, and more. A nearby homemade sign noted there would also be music later in the day. A short walk past it, down the path would take you into Small Change Farm proper, Sasha and her husband Ali’s homestead farm in Potsdam, New York, with its extensive vegetable and herb patches, high tunnel, greenhouse spaces, and barns lively with goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, and pigs.
