Sitting out in the gazebo this morning. I’m telling you, when it is not muggy and warm this is my favorite place other than Lake Waccamaw. Which was kind of the point when I bought this contraption last summer – I needed a beautiful place to hang out that was screened to keep away the…

Received this email from Carolina Farm Stewardship Association today. My disappointment? My N.C. rep is not on this list. Miller voted for the last b.s. food “safety” bill too. Whenever I write to him about agricultural issues, he replies that he is not on the agriculture committee. Well, by God, he eats, doesn’t he? If…

It’s been a while since I posted a list of what I bought at the Greensboro Farmers’ Curb Market, my favorite place to shop. I’ve been trying to pay off credit cards so I’ve been living out of the freezer a good bit. Plus it’s the first Saturday morning in a while that I’ve felt…

Received the following email, as well as a disturbing one yesterday that rumoured conservative Democrats were backing pro-industrial anti-sustainable people for deputy secretary of ag, so your input is VERY VERY important! Tom Vilsack was a huge disappointment, but hopefully he would be balanced and influenced by sustainable advocates. At least we can say we…
