Conferences for each and every day!

I just got back from the Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Working Group (NESAWG) conference in Albany, NY.  It was educational, fun, network-y, and well worth attending.  I signed up to help with way too many working groups, but if any of them do half of what they have proposed it will be well worth it. The [...]

The Future of Food and Nutrition

My lovely readers…thank you! Your sympathy and suggestions about my grading difficulties were incredibly sweet and I appreciated them more than I can say.  The problem with my class has been resolved and not only am I getting the credit, but I didn’t even have to write the paper.  I couldn’t be happier. I wish [...]

On the Importance of Suntan Lotion

I would just like to take a moment out of my busy schedule of weeding to remind everyone of the importance of sunblock.  Sunblock keeps you from getting skin cancer.  It keeps you from developing liver spots and wrinkles and moles and many other unpleasant things.  And possibly most important, sun block keeps you from [...]

When Good Carrots Go Bad…

  Many days I finish at the farm and I simply can’t imagine spending the time and effort that it takes to write an entry. All I want is to enjoy a glass of wine, a home cooked meal, a chapter of Harry Potter, and my indecently comfortable pillow-top mattress. The time that I feel [...]

Everyday Farming…

I never get bored on the farm. I’ve had a few people write me and ask me what I do day to day and if it’s ever boring. The thing is, my days are all varied and so far I find them all interesting. A morning might start with bringing the horses out to the [...]

What’s Up?

What’s up on the farm? Well…everything! Remember those potato sets that I cut two weeks ago, all 250 pounds of them? Well they are now 16 beautiful rows of potato plants growing at an astonishing rate. Just look at how big the Cranberry Reds have gotten. The best potato salad I’ve ever eaten is surely [...]

Spring Planting Begins…

After two straight weeks of rain the sun has finally peeped out for long enough that we can start on the real work of spring: planting. Apparently spring planting is always a big rush as well as a bit of a gamble. You don’t want to start too early because a late frost might come [...]

When It Rains It Pours…

It began raining on Saturday, the same day we had to move our bed to the new place in Hillsboro.  We dutifully wrapped everything in plastic and began.  It has been 10 days since then and every single one of them has been rainy.  The day we moved our mattress and box spring it drizzled.  [...]

In Which Amy Leaves Greensboro…

I’ll admit that I’m a little behind schedule with this week’s post, but now that I’m finally doing it I’m dropping a bomb.  You see, my friends, I’m moving.  After eight years in Greensboro I’m uprooting myself and leaving. I’ve been looking around for a while now for ways to continue my local food education.  [...]
