“Know you food, know your farmers, and know your kitchen. Start buildin...” — Joel Salatin Quote

Know you food, know your farmers, and know your kitchen. Start building up your larder! We don't even use that term any more.

'Organic' doesn't mean what people think it means.

Unfortunately in the U.S., the courts have pretty much sided with the GMO lobby and suggesting that a farmer has no rights to be protected from GMO contamination.

A farm includes the passion of the farmer's heart, the interest of the farm's customers, the biological activity in the soil, the pleasantness of the air about the farm -- it's everything touching, emanating from, and supplying that piece of landscape. A farm is virtually a living organism. The tragedy of our time is that cultural philosophies and market realities are squeezing life's vitality out of most farms. And that is why the average farmer is now 60 years old. Serfdom just doesn't attract the best and brightest.

Any good kitchen should be stocked up in oysters, shouldn't they?

I don't have a kitchen table 'cause I feel like I eat really quickly, so I just get it done while I'm standing or doing something else.

I'm always cooking and can be found in the kitchen rustling up something for myself and the boys.

I slept on a friend's kitchen floor for a year and a half.

I cook and wash, cook and wash. When I am done, the kitchen is like a mirror.
