Ol' McMartha has a farm, ee-ay, ee-ay-oh!

Oh, boy, I can't wait! Finally, after all this time we're going to get to go behind the gates, into the exclusive, much-discussed but rarely filmed Martha Stewart estate. Actually, not the whole estate, but part of it. On her syndicated show, Martha Stewart's 153-acre Bedford, New York farm will be on display in the season ahead.

When the show returns with new episodes on September 15, Ms. Martha will share all the fun stuff she grows and prunes and plants. You know what this means, don't you? Compost heap! Seriously, Martha believes in natural recycling.

There will also be her state-of-the-art greenhouses and her extensive flower and vegetable gardens. Over a hundred guests will join Martha on her tour of the farm.

Chances are they'll we warned to watch their steps, lest they step in something foul. And knowing how testy Martha can be, they better keep their hands in their pockets, too. You know, look but don't touch.

While the guests will be enjoying the green grass and soaking up the bucolic beauty, they will not be invited inside the manse. Well, they have to save something for next season, don't they?

In other Martha Stewart Show news, on the food front, chef Emeril Lagasse has been added as a regular contributor, providing his essence and bams with every dish. Emeril, you recall, is now part of Martha's media empire, so it's not like he could say no to the boss.

Also, Sarah Carey, host of PBS's Everyday Food, has been tapped to do a weekly Cooking School segment commencing October 21.
