Calling all supporters of the local, sustainable, organic food movement! Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture (BRWIA) will be hosting its annual High Country Farm Tour this summer.
Farm Tour Photo Contest Finalist
Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking with Suzanne Fleishman, Program Coordinator at (BRWIA). On June 28 and 29, BRWIA will be hosting the High Country Farm Tour for its eighth year. The farm tour itself will encompass 20 farms in Ashe and Watauga Counties, surrounding the towns of Boone, Banner Elk, Valle Crucis, and West Jefferson. Program Coordinator Fleishman describes it as “a wonderful event to connect the people who eat the food in our community and the people who grow it.”

A glimpse of my container garden with basil, parsley, cilantro, and Larry in the background.
In the foreground: first red onion of the year, 2013
Living on a tight budget, I’ve been doing a lot of veggin’ out… on my porch, that is. This is the third year I’ve grown my own food in containers at my apartment. It started out as one tomato and a couple basil plants in each of my four pots by the driveway. Now, this April, it’s an official container garden: at least 20 different pots/herb boxes/recycled storage bins that are already boasting spinach, kale, red onions, and brussels sprouts. As I write, I’m waiting for the first young sprouts of the leek, beet, and swiss chard seeds I planted last week to peek out through the soil.

Last weekend may have been a first for New York City. Brooklyn Brawl Champion Boxer, Omowale Adewale created a vegan rooftop party that will be hard to beat. Vegans and non-vegans arrived from cities far and wide to welcome in the spring with healthy plant-based fare. The gods were clearly with us as the predicted rain abstained from intruding upon the affair. Overlooking the cityscape of New York, the sun gently caressed the throngs of diners, as colorful and varied as the food itself. Everyone was invited. One woman I spoke to was from California. She learned about the party on LinkedIn that very day and decided to join in. She was in town visiting relatives and decided to take a break to enjoy good food with like minded people.

Here’s a drum roll for kale, the world’s go-to vegetable! Credit kale’s meteoric rise to the big time, from the nobody she was, to—ta dah—California! When kale appeared in the raw, risqué as it might have seemed, a star was born. The “kale kraze” is here. It’s the buzz word of the far West, and is fast creeping Eastward, for who knows how long. Credit the granola gang, aging hippies, health nuts, organic eaters, and vegan enthusiasts for this amazing development.
Picture a wine glass filled with a bright green liquid, the perfect shade of chartreuse, a kale-fruit health drink, only one of the myriad kale recipes for well-being. Raise a glass: a toast to kale!
