Press release: Louisville Farm to Table introduces a new workshop: Farm to Campus: Local food comes to the halls of higher education.

Over this last year we have been providing our community workshops. We are holding a workshop in January that is much boader based than past workshops. This workshop is dedicated to facilitating farm to higher education. In an effort to spread the word we are reaching out to organizations like yours that may have people in their database that have and interest in sustainability/farm to campus. We have received a grant for this workshop so the cost of the workshop is free. We have an amazing line-up.

It is far past time we began to incorporate less tangible economics. The economics of the heart, of the soul. This is the economy that sees people helping each other for no reason other than to see good things happen. This is the economy of the GIFT, the economy of giving without expectation of remuneration.

This chicken knows a thing or two about how America produces its food.

My good friend Liza de Guia publishes yet another stunning video entitled “The Historic Gastronomist,” about a Brooklyn women who is resuscitating centuries old recipes from American history. This is a tremendous story and ties in so dearly with my ideas for Farm to Table.

However, social media is an excellent way of interacting and meeting new costumers without having to leave the farm. Social Media has enabled farmers to reach their customers, interact with them, answer questions and provoke discussions without having to drive to the city.

To me Renaissance brings to mind thoughts of rebirth, renewal and awakening. The Renaissance was a period of change, of rebirth basically, where the ways in which people did things were re-invented.

Food touches nearly every aspect of life, so it is essential that we understand it in the fullest context possible to ensure we, as consumers, make well-informed, everyday decisions. Unfortunately, for many of us, our days of being educated and/or changing our ways are mostly behind us.
