		<description><![CDATA[Every great once and a while, a farmer gets off the farm. About as far off the farm as I dare get is onto to someone else’s farm. So when Katie and I took off out of town, in early November, we headed straight for Upper Rogue Organics. Upper Rogue is a small 10 acre fruit and vegetable farm in Prospect, Oregon. The Navickas brothers, Eric and Ryan, have been market gardening for almost 20 years now. I met these two in 2002 at the Ashland, Oregon Farmer’s Market. Instantly we became friends, and over the years they have become my most admired mentors. I wanted to introduce Katie to the Eco Vikings and show her where I learned I wanted to be a farmer. Eric and Ryan had grown up gardening and when Ashland decided to host a farmers’ market to the young Ryan Navickas it seemed a no-brainer. Grow veggies on an old empty lot and sell them at the market. Soon Ryan had recruited his older brother Eric and their farming careers began. This is around 1995, before Omnivore’s Dilemma, before… It became clear very early these guys had a talent for growing veggies and their family [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Janie Burns and Amy Hutchinson hadn’t organized the project called “2011: The Year of Idaho Food,” I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to spend the last 12 months sipping gin at 8:30 in the morning (well, once), foraging for stinging nettles in the forests of McCall, riding in a big-ass wheat combine on the Palouse, sampling more fermented foods than I thought humanly possible (or medically prudent), eating goat five ways, jet boating down the Salmon in search of pioneer apples and sifting through the sands of the Snake River for a lunch of fresh-water mussels (not recommended). And that’s just for starters. Still, my weekly collaboration with the Boise Weekly and Boise State Public Radio to write food and farming stories under the Year of Idaho Food banner was just one feature of the project’s broader agenda. “The Year of Idaho Food was envisioned as a means of engaging the public to think about their food,” local food advocate Janie Burns said of the statewide project she and Hutchinson dreamt up in March of 2010 while “Amy and I were trapped in a car for six hours, traveling back from Moscow where we’d both been at a food [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the pre-dawn December darkness, Mary Rohlfing nodded toward a familiar silhouette perched in a tree on the edge of her Boise farm. As if on cue, a great horned owl let loose a burst of hoots as Rohlfing pulled on gloves, preparing for her morning chores. &#8220;Now that it&#8217;s getting a little bit lighter, you can see the bib on her neck area there. She&#8217;s kind of the mother owl,&#8221; Rohlfing said, her words condensing into translucent clouds. &#8220;And you named the farm for her?&#8221; I asked. &#8220;Yeah, we did name the farm for her because, in the morning, I&#8217;d come out and hear the owls, just like we are this morning, so we named the farm Morning Owl Farm.&#8221; That was 10 years ago, shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks. Rohlfing, a tenured professor at Boise State at the time, decided to make a radical career change. &#8220;I was in my garden on about the 30th of September in 2001 and just realized I was at home and where I wanted to be,&#8221; she said. Rohlfing wasn&#8217;t thinking only of changes she needed to make to her life, but of changes she felt the whole nation needed to make [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are still two months left in 2011: the Year of Idaho Food, and what better way to honor the occasion than with a Thanksgiving table laid with the best of what’s produced right in our own state? You’ll be getting the freshest of what’s available, and you’ll be supporting our local growers, processors, producers and retailers. So here’s the challenge: can you prepare and serve a truly local Thanksgiving meal this year?  How close can you come? Hint: I’ll make it easy for you if you keep reading. I hope you’ll share your successes and stumbling blocks with readers, too! This can be fun to involve the whole family in trying to achieve. The goal is to try to prepare a Thanksgiving meal with as many local ingredients as possible.  You should start close to home, but here is an example priority list:  Grown on your own farm or in your own garden  Grown somewhere in your town or county  Grown somewhere in Canyon, Payette, Owyhee, Ada or Gem counties in ID,  or Malheur County in OR. Grown in Idaho Grown in the Northwest Ok, at least grown in the USA! Keep a log of which items fit within these [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jan Huskey, a big man with a kind smile and soft voice, greeted me in his Meridian yard, garden hose in hand. Behind him stood an unruly forest of fruit trees. &#8220;I&#8217;m just a common home gardener that happened to run into a friend that knew about pawpaws,&#8221; Huskey said by way of introduction. I hadn&#8217;t heard of that mysterious fruit until I spotted Huskey&#8217;s produce on display at Boise Co-op one fall. This friend of Huskey&#8217;s had grown pawpaws back in Alabama, and knowing that Huskey loved growing odd fruit, thought he should try the stubby-banana-shaped pawpaw in Idaho. In response to his friend&#8217;s suggestion, Huskey asked what nearly everyone west of the Mississippi asks: &#8220;What&#8217;s a pawpaw?&#8221; Considering the fact that the pawpaw is the largest edible fruit native to America, its lack of fame is a little surprising. An understory tree common to the eastern United States, the pawpaw was cultivated by native tribes, loved by George Washington, frequently depended on by Lewis and Clark, and the subject of a children&#8217;s nursery rhyme (way down yonder in the pawpaw patch). It has a sweet, creamy interior with a flavor reminiscent of mango and banana&#8211;a sunny, equatorial taste [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you’ve ever driven down Orchard Avenue in Caldwell, you’ve seen the two Treasure Valleys side by side. The tired, old patchwork—square swaths of farmland in tidy, monocultured rows—hemming in the pseudo-slick subdivisions cordoned off with vinyl fences. Orchard Avenue is a visual testament to the struggles of family farmers who one by one are turning their life’s labor of love, their precious farmland, over to the cookie-cutter concrete of sprawling suburbia. It’s a sight to break your heart, if you’re looking, and if you are, you’ve noticed a little place that stands out from both of them. A well-kept barn, a couple small greenhouses, chicken coop, modest farmhouse surrounded by a colorful kitchen garden, beehives, and seven acres of diverse and tidy vegetable seed crops. Welcome to Beth Rasgorshek’s Canyon Bounty Farm, a beacon of hope on a downtrodden road. This land is dear to Beth. She played here as a girl growing up on the neighboring farm, where her dad, Joe, also raised seed crops. After a detour to Portland and a long stint co-running Urban Bounty Farm, a CSA there, Beth returned home to her neighborhood and began the challenge of farming organically in Canyon County. Since [...]]]></description>

The rules were that each family participating had to bring to the table something local. It could be homemade, or locally found, along with a delicious local beverage. It wasn&#8217;t hard with many of the families having abundant gardens right in their back yards. We live on a quiet little street nestled near the foothills, in the East End of Boise, Idaho. Louisa Street&#8230; a friendly old-fashioned neighborhood with a heart and soul for community. Seven households participated in the event. Ages ranged from 18 mos. to 77 years &#8220;young&#8221;. House#1: Jane started out with delicious Mojitos made from Local Bardenay rum, along with 2 delicious appetizers. One being grilled &#8220;Ballard Farms&#8221; Greek cheese with grilled fresh local peaches, Fresh sliced Cucumber from Capitol City Market, topped with smoked salmon, capers and cream cheese. House #2: Kirk and Penny shared their poolside backyard with Homemade Trout cakes with &#8220;Moms&#8221; local mustard sauce paired with a light White wine from St.Chapelles. House#3: Luanne &#38; Gregg matched up with 3 families to offer a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The day of Idaho Food was celebrated on Labor Day as 37 people gathered at the 100 year old farm house in Garden Valley to eat local food, share stories, recipes and lots of desserts. Highlights of the event included chevre goat cheese made by 10 year old Zoey Foote.  Zoey bought her goat this summer and has been milking her every morning and evening supplying her family and friends with fresh goat milk. For the party Zoey wanted to do something special, she wanted to make cheese.  “We made yogurt and that was really good and really easy so I thought I would try cheese.”  Zoey provided her recipe to anyone that wanted it and may have created her own business. “I found a couple of people that might want to buy my cheese.  I have no idea how much to charge.  I am going to go look at cheese at different stores and price out my supplies and see how much I need to charge.”  She also gives out advice to anyone thinking about trying to raise their own goats. “You have to be committed. Milking and taking care of your goat is not something you can skip.” [...]]]></description>
