Guest post: A Vermont hog farmer’s opinion of the proposed “Naturally Raised” label

by Guest @ Thursday, January 10th, 2008.

A while back I wrote that the USDA was stealing the term Naturally Grown. Well, they have done so. No need to listen to comments from the people. No need to wait for the rule to be implemented. They just went ahead and stopped the use of Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) on meat labels. I hate saying “I told you so,” I really do, especially since I’m the one, along with all CNG farmers and consumers, who’s taking a beating here…

by Jenni P. @ Tuesday, January 8th, 2008.

Since goats have provided almost all of our dairy for the last year or so — thank goodness for goats! — when I read Elanor’s resolution to go goat in 2008, I felt inspired to offer tips for finding great-tasting goat dairy products.

Winter on a New Hampshire farm

by Elanor @ Tuesday, January 8th, 2008.

There are some parts of the country where, between late November and sometime around February, you just can’t get anything to grow. Call it a lumen lack.

Looks like tickets ($26) are still available for "Hedonistic, Healthy and Green: Can We Have It All?," a conversation between Michael Pollan (do we even need to ID him anymore? nah…) and Dan Barber of Blue Hill at Stone Barns, the breakout star of SOLE-minded chefs. They’re going to discuss "what to order, what to […]

New comment subscription function

by Bonnie P. @ Monday, January 7th, 2008.

It’s long overdue, but I’ve just added a plugin so you can "subscribe to follow-up comments" via email. Note a new checkbox just before the comment form. This only works if you leave a comment; lurkers will just have to watch and refresh. You can also "manage" your subscriptions, as in turn them off later […]
