When we started down the path of our self-reliant life the only place we could find rhubarb was in abandoned gardens and farms. Now, in the wake of the real food movement, rhubarb has been rescued from decades of neglect. Even if you don’t grow it, you will be able to find it in farmer’s markets during June and July. My method for planting, harvesting, and using rhubarb, from garden to table, was streamlined years ago to meet the demands of a busy gardening and farming life without compromising quality.
