Solar powered taco truck serving healthy and fresh vegan dishes This Thursday, I want to highlight two places doing some out of the box (or should I say bag) thinking when it comes to eating fast food, bringing you better food and honoring our environment at the same time. What was really interesting to me,…
Whole Foods has an interesting website called Let’s Retake Our Plate. I haven’t explored it entirely so I can’t speak for all of it. However, they do have a listing of movies showing around the country that I have not heard of before. Check out the link above for the full listing. Below are just…
4′ Tall Artichoke Plants The artichokes are CRAZY! The lettuce is going strong too. The strawberries…not so much…yet. We aren’t currently weighing the strawberries.

The potager garden has it’s roots in 16th Century France as what is now more commonly known as a Kitchen Garden. However it’s design was just as important as it’s function.
