A few months later…. Coming back from a long break, and it feels like I owe an explanation. I don’t have one. Somehow I just stopped writing, and I don’t really know why. Lots of things happened to distract me: a gi… [...] A year and a half ago, my husband Travis and I decided we wanted to be organic farmers. Neither of us had a background in agriculture. In fact, I was probably about as disconnected from physical labor as you can get — I was pursuing my PhD. This weekly series will take you through Travis’ [...] [...] We rolled into Seattle after tearing ourselves away from wonderful Portland, and – thanks to the most generous 10-year-old in all of Washington state – enjoyed a real bed to sleep in for a couple of days. Thank you, Bridget, for giving up your bedroom to these weary camper van-travelers! Bridget’s parents took us to [...] [...] My friends in college used to call me a Renaissance woman. I was always doing something crafty, creative, or utilitarian. I still am. My focus these days, instead of arts and crafts, has been farming as much of my urban quarter acre as humanly possible. With [...] [...] A year and a half ago, my husband Travis and I decided we wanted to be organic farmers. Neither of us had a background in agriculture. In fact, I was probably about as disconnected from physical labor as you can get — I was pursuing my PhD. This weekly series will take you through Travis’ [...] [...] On June 4th, John and Kate Suscovich, collectively known as FoodCyclist, will hit the open road on a two-year, 24,000-mile cycling journey across the globe. From America to Australia, Indonesia to Ireland, John and Kate will pedal their way across the four corners of the world, experiencing rich agricultural traditions and discovering sustainable food production.

The store has grown to include a “made from scratch” deli restaurant, and a full grocery store selection. They are active [...] [...] At the end of our visit together, Harriett offered up two copies of her fantastic new DVD, Preserving With Friends for giveaway! This is the most comprehensive and informative resource you will find on preserving – perfect for the preservation veteran or for you all who are just starting out. The DVD includes downloadable recipes [...] [...] Portlandia, indeed. We are smitten with this town. Locally-sourced ingredients seem to be the assumed standard everywhere, small independent businesses are thriving here, and, yes, hot girls DO wear glasses (and knit caps) here! The highlight of our time in Portland was by far the couple of hours I spent at Harriet Fasenfest’s dining room [...] [...] Entering Humbolt County on the heaving, winding highway 101, we continue to be awed by the lush redwood forests. We were famished after hiking around the seaside charmer town of Mendocino, and decided to give the restaurants of Eureka a try. The ugly strip of big box stores and and strip malls had us skeptical, [...] [...] |
