Blogging is not my strong suit!

As is evident -  blogging is not my strong suit. While I am passionate about growing food and talking to people in real life about why food and farming is important I tend to shy away from digital forms of connection. I hope to see you out there at the farmers market or on a walk, hike or ski and we can connect in real time with real eye contact about real food! I hope you are cooking and enjoying the fruits of all the labor that has gone into each and every item you use every day. Focus on gratitude and how to make your three foot circle of peace extend to those around you. 

I am reading "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer and I love this little excerpt. 

"People often ask me what one thing I would recommend to restore relationship between land and people. My answer is almost always, "Plant a garden." It's good for the health of the earth and its good for the health of people. A garden is a nursery for nurturing connection, the soil for cultivation of practical reverence. And its power goes far beyond the garden gate - once you develop a relationship with a  little patch of earth, it becomes a seed itself. 
Something essential happens in a vegetable garden. It's a place where if you can't say "I love you" out loud, you can say it in seeds. And the land will reciprocate in beans."
