Yesterday, I had my first Rome Sustainable Food Project lunch, put together by Mona Talbott and her crew of cooks and interns. The choices of different delicious tidbits with which to pile one’s plate was almost overwhelming. I took teeny portions so that I could have some of everything. There was pasta with lentils, a [...]

We made our first gelato-destination-trek yesterday, after asking around about the best shops in the neighborhood. Miami Gelateria, conveniently located about halfway between our apartment and Jack’s school, makes theirs in-house, and offers an array of flavors, from the tangiest limone to the densest chocolate, with everything nutty and fruity in between. They serve typical [...]

I spent the morning in the Pomfret, Vermont hills among cows and affable, talkative farmers happy to have me help to spread their gospel: eat locally and sustainably, and preserve the traditions of good food and respect for the land. I’ll save Cloudland Farm for another post, because my visit to Thistle Hill Farm was [...]

Vermont is, of course, known for its dairy farms, along with its maple syrup. The two events I went to today, the Norwich Farmers’ Market and the Co-op’s annual Dairy Day, are really celebrations of the richness, variety, and history of Vermont’s dairies, which stretches back to the seventeenth century. While stories of small dairies [...]

Whew—I can finally relax. I’m sitting on the deck in Vermont. The sun is shining, the Bloody Brook is rushing, Jack is loading a dump truck in the sand box, and a hummingbird is buzzing by. This is nice. Yesterday, Tuesday, was spent in buses, planes, cars, and waiting areas. Monday, the moving van came, [...]

I came to a junction in the back roads of my mind the other day when I read an article in the New York Times about organic dairy cows in Highgate, Vermont munching alfalfa and flaxseed rather than corn, to make their burps less methane-laden. The farm supplies milk to Stonyfield Farms, maker of Oikos—organic [...]
