My daughter started 4H this year and I couldn’t be happier. As an animal person myself, I am thrilled that she is passionate about animals and wants to learn more about them. She has been a fan of chickens for several years, coveting the ones that belong to our friends. I never [...]

When I think of Slow Food, I usually think of vegetables instead of meat. Meat production is a typically inefficient use of our farming land, contributes to greenhouse emissions and produces a tremendous amount of pollution. It is overwhelming to think that the average hamburger has traveled 1500 miles to reach your plate [...]

As good parents, we try to teach our children about the golden rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Or, more simply: treat others how you want to be treated.
The same should be true for our food system. I am hard pressed to believe that the parents who encourage their [...]

You won’t catch me filling the landfill with by-products from my kids’ school lunches this year…at least most of the time.
