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. When they come in we wash them off and freeze them. When our bag is full we will then weigh them. So what’s this weeks harvest breakdown? It’s heavy on the…
Artichoke Some of you may have noticed a box on the sidebar that shows what our harvests, expenditures and savings are. I haven’t updated it in awhile but I think I’m going to now update it every Wednesday and then also break it down more, esp. in regards to exactly what was harvested. So to start…
Apple Earth, originally uploaded by JD Hancock. I really look at Earth Day as similar to New Year’s.

Squeek (Brindle) and Riley (Black and White) Some of you may know that we have dogs. Two large dogs. Squeek (spelled wrong on purpose) is our 5 year old female greyhound/pitbull mix. Riley is our male German Shepherd/Border Collie mix of unknown age. Riley was our first dog and for the first year we had him he…
So, I had two free passes to the Green Festival last weekend. I have been to so many of these over the years, but I figured lets go check it out and see if there is anything new. There were a variety of vendors, food, speakers, organizations and schwag. It is about the closest thing…
