Those are some good looking farmers. I’m going to look them up in the WWOOF guide and go do some hoin’ in the Upper Rogue!

Comment on Seedy Confessions: Birthing a seed freak by hbrookmangarden

Nice article! As a neophyte seed saver, I was entertained to discover that when I was going through catalogs this year, stuff fell into categories: the typical, “Ooooohh! I want it”, but also, “FRONT YARD!!”, “Oooohh! SEEDS for EVERYONE”, “Oooooh! Wonder what happens if we save out the hybrid anyway? That purple had to have come from someplace!”. Partially thanks to you, I’m totally polluted by this rather infectious bug. Gave my 17 year old his first seed saving lesson this past summer (yes, a bit sarcastic, I get grumpy when I realize I’ve been bamboozled for decades): “See these? Those are seeds. Wanna save them? (pulling them off plant) There. Seeds. Saved”.

Comment on Balancing Ducks, Diversity and Dollars: The future of local food by Casey O'Leary

I appreciate the honesty about the “dirty secret about local food”–that you can’t charge enough for it to cover your costs. This is something we’ve got to figure out in order to keep doing what we’re doing, and I think openly acknowledging it to each other and to the community as a whole is the first step to solving the problem. Thanks for the article!

I’m whipping up a batch of membrillo as your article plays on the radio. It’s always a great winter treat.
