This week, Ellen and Trevor's guest, Rich Ruggiero began his career in the Entertainment Industry before pursuing his passion...brewing classic European Czech-style beers. Rich started home brewing (close to his yard!) and expanded that into Berlinetta Brewing in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

They lean into the table side of things on this week’s episode of Yard to Table!

Rich's recommended reading on beer: Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers

The Peony flower has a long and storied history across time and geography. These show stopping beauties are a favorite flower for many, but play a special part of the love story of Trevor and Ellen! In this episode of Yard to Table they talk about the variety of peonies that are blooming across the gardens at Stonebrook right now, how they take care of them and why they mean so much.

The poem in this episode is called "A Peony Match" from the book "The Things it Takes to Bring The World Together" by Jesse Spray Crafts.

A great reference site for all things peony: American Peony Society
