From June, 2008:
"...Jay is from El Salvador by way of LA, who now lives in Upstate New York and works on Amy and Gerry Hepworth's Farm with his wife and daughter. He's as excited by juicing wheat grass or onions and apple juice ("Gotta make it sweet"), as he is by the huge bundles of dark kale he carries ("This would be two bundles anywhere else, man, they love the Park Slope Coop. But it's bitter, man, anything good for you tastes bad, you know, but you juice it with apple juice to make it sweet"), to their program for kids in Harlem in which they set up a roof-top garden, teach them to grow tomatoes and other produce, and check in on them regularly ("Kids love it man, you know, but they expect me to be in overalls"). Get people talking about something they love and they don't stop."
