We had the opportunity to visit Stone Barns Center to check out their ag research & farm-to-table operation. So cool, highly recommend! A lot of innovative things going on there including diploid true-seed potatoes. Fun field trip w Isako Di Tomassi & Renee Smith Cornell CALS Agricultural Research Service
