"concord" news and stories

A Concord, Mass., farm that grows produce for local charities recently reported 200 pounds of parsnips missing. According to The Concord Journal, it appears that someone snuck on to the property of volunteer-operated Gaining Ground and uprooted the tasty vegetables. So far, no arrests have been made. What's baffling is that the crops apparently aren't visible from the street and, according to Gaining Ground's coordinator, parsnips are hard to spot anyway. There's some speculation that this may have been an inside job. Hopefully it won't happen again. I really have to wonder how one even manages to abscond with 200 pounds of root vegetables.
