One of the things I love about farmer's markets is that produce is "naked", that is, not wrapped within an inch of it's life in plastic, or sitting in a plastic box. I use homemade string produce bags to put the produce in. They are lightweight so as not to add to the weight of the produce and see-though to help identify the item during the check out process.
I am now buying bread at a local bakery - taking a cotton dishtowel with me to wrap the bread in instead of plastic. I d

Josh Dorf, who owns the Stone-Buhr flour brand, runs
FindtheFarmer, which enables buyers to enter a code from their bag of flour and find the organic family farmers who produced it.
While the thrust of the NYT story was how even mass producers can behave as locals, it resonated with me as a former 4-H member whose grandparents farmed. Spending most weekends on the farm taught me the interconnectedness of all things. I didn’t have to lea…

The documentary film FOOD INC. directed by Robert Kenner will be screened at Full Frame at 7pm this Friday. I thought members of the group might appreciated knowing about this film and maybe consider making the trip to Durham to check it out. Here's what its all about:
"Looking beyond the pastoral images gracing grocery store shelves, director Robert Kenner serves up a revealing look at the way food is produced in America. From factory farms to cornfields to patented seeds, this film skillfully…

Run - do not walk - to the next cooking class at Customshop! A friend and I went to the Local Fish class this past Saturday and we were blown away. The freshest saltwater fish (from a fisherman named "Rock Stone" - no you can't make that up!) and wonderful preparation and instruction by Chef Trey Wilson. They hand you a mimosa when you arrive and it only gets better over the next four hours!

Pasture Walk at Triple B
By
Deby Jizi
When I arrived at Triple B Farm in northern Granville County, there was a large turkey eyeballing his reflection in the bumper of a pick-up truck. He would look and then duck, thinking that he had just seen another turkey. I laughed to myself thinking, not the smartest animals on the planet are they? The reason for my visit to Triple B Farm, owned by long-time farmer, Bailey Newton, was to participate in a pasture walk. This one was sponsored by the Center…
