To go along with my screaming eagle food guide to southern VT, I have decided to start a blog. You will have to bear with me as writing is not my strength. I am hoping through this exercise it will get a bit better. If you are ever reading and feel so inclined to edit, I welcome edits and critiques with open arms.
Over the past couple of months I have become somewhat obsessed with all things "food." In 2011 I did a Social Justice fellowship through Jews United for Justice that forever changed my life. My final project was supposed to be a social justice food guide to DC but my life changed a bit in October and I moved back to VT for a few, what turned out to be glorious, months.
It also turns out that the idea of making a social justice food guide for southern Vermont is much more of a realistic project in terms of size than DC.
The idea is to provide a guide for locals and tourists that connects local food to people. A couple friends and I have started a google doc and we already have some data on over 50 nearby farms. The long term hope is that we can cultivate the guide and farmers together and create a co-op!
If you are interested in the project please, please e-mail me/ call me :)
So welcome and thanks for reading!
My motto for 2012 is to fall in love with everything- so I hope that while reading the guide you fall in love! Maybe not with my writing, but with a farm, farmer, or a specific food.
Kisses forever- Shira
