Tilth: Soil becomes food

by Butter Bitch @ Monday, November 6th, 2006.

This weekend, Man of La Muncha and I made two trips to Tilth, which is the second restaurant in the country to receive Oregon Tilth organic certification. We had heard about the restaurant from various friends, who felt that it was right up our alley. We’ve had an uncharacteristically busy schedule over the […]

Digesting: GMO roundup

by Corn Maven @ Saturday, November 4th, 2006.

Certifiably man-made crop circles such as this one featured on Greenpeace’s website have begun “cropping up” in fields around the world: in the Philippines, France, Spain, and Mexico—the birthplace of corn. The message is clear: we do not want genetically engineered corn in our fields or in our food. (To share your opinion with Mexican […]

Autumn in the air

by Butter Bitch @ Monday, October 23rd, 2006.

Signs of autumn are everywhere in Seattle. I woke early last week to find that the tree in front of our house had dropped its leaves, seemingly overnight.

Interview with a forager

by Butter Bitch @ Monday, September 18th, 2006.

Once we got to the […]

A Drunken Boat? No, a Stumbling Goat!

Celebrating Farmer Joe’s arrival

by Corn Maven @ Friday, June 30th, 2006.

Last Saturday was like a national holiday for my up-and-coming Oakland neighborhood, the Dimond district — or, as the SF Chronicle noted this week, our “decidedly unglamorous” ‘hood. Well, all of us unglamorous folk turned out in large numbers to celebrate the long-awaited opening of Farmer Joe’s Marketplace — a locally owned grocery store […]
