Subgroup of SFC seeking alternate unpasteurized dairy resources and to help get North Carolina back to cow-sharing and beyond.
Slow Food Charlotte is always looking for helping hands. There is a lot of work out there that needs to get done and we are a grassroots run group. If you'd like to help please let us know today.
It is illegal to sell unpasturized dairy in North Carolina, hence the SC farms. One of those large gripes of everyone here.
You can find a few that might sell their dairy for pet-consumption only. I'll have to dig around as I recall someone in the…
Subgroup of SFC seeking alternate unpasteurized dairy resources and to help get North Carolina back to cow-sharing and beyond.
I talked to one berry farmer and he said the heat was punishing this years local red raspberry crop. Last year it was the rain.
Does anyone have a lead on some local red raspberries?
I wish I had time to go up to Zimmermans in the mountains, their…

Peek Inside
Hi everyone! I'm Andy Ciordia, Slow Food aficionado and general crazy guy.
I learned about Slow Food from Lell Trogdon and Thom Duncan over three years ago. We worked hard to build a custom infrastructure that took far too much time to manage so I built a Ning community here. I love supporting our local farmers and co-producers. Having everyone make connections, learn a story, engage in the dialog, and then further a cause that fights for good things lights my fire.
I've run a personal blog for years now called 'it's my island'. I can be found all over the net and am generally very reachable/available.
I left the corporate lights for my own gig with Nuance Labs. A company helping you get your small business online while staying highly productive with a product aptly named, Liquid Minded.
My wife, Robin, is a special needs teacher for Union County. She also helps me run IMI Photography. We work events, weddings, food & product photography; selling prints and stock of the perspectives we find along the way. You can see more of my work at Photoshelter or Flickr.

You Are What Your Animals Eat
You Are What Your Animals Eat by Jo Robinson
from: http://eatwild.com/articles/index.html
In my investigation into pasture-based farming, I’ve stumbled upon an alarming state of affairs: few animal scientists see any link between animal feed and human food. “Feed animals anything you want,” say the experts, “and it makes no difference to their meat, milk, or eggs.” Because of this mindset, our animals are being fed just a

- Andy, are there guidelines for posting events on this site? If possible, I'd like to post an event about an author we are bringing to town. Not related to SF necessarily but he's very popular with gardeners and those who haven't heard of him, should hear his message. I wasn't sure how strict this site was about staying on topic. Let me know. http://tix.cpcc.edu/featured-performances/Bringing_Nature_Home

- Andy, we LOVED the truffles we got from you guys at the Matthews Farmers Market. Can you reuse the boxes? We saved ours just in case. Too pretty to throw it away and since the chocolates are in their own little cup, wondered if it could be recycled by you guys.
