One of my favorite local products comes out of San Diego, California from a deli called “Good On Ya.” The founder, Kristen Fillat, started Good On Ya after an 11-year stint on the United States National Field Hockey Team.

Stress levels run high during this time of year. From finding the perfect recipes and pairing the wines to tracking down the trivets and recreating a centerpiece from the page we tore out of that magazine, our Thanksgiving to-do list quickly becomes as long as a table runner.

Gene Logsdon: Archeology Not Agriculture Teaches Good Farming
Posted August 25th, 2011 by Admin. Comment (0).
From GENE LOGSDON I’m thinking lately that a farmer can learn more about sustainable farming from history rather than from current science. Agriculture has been taking giant leaps “forward” and archeology giant leaps “backward,” both with intriguing and absorbing results. Both work under a handicap. Archeology studies a silent past and has to worry that [...]

During Earth Month, and really every month for that matter, it’s all about reduce, reuse, recycle! While I am totally behind figuring out how to reduce waste by going reusable (I recently found a super-cute, washable fabric wrap for my kiddo’s sandwiches) there are times when I just need to use something that’s disposable. Um, [...]

They [...]
