You may have noticed that I have been posting more intermittently lately. There are some exciting reasons why…
Real Food Revelations
First of all, after months of dreaming and scheming with Zachary Cohen, the original founder of the Farm to Table blog, I am now serving as an editor of the New Farm to Table, a community website built to support and sustain something very close to my heart: the Real Food Movement.
I am very excited to be a fundamental part of this big, new endeavor. Our mission is to “inform and strengthen the sustainable and local foods community by providing a collaborative journalistic forum for the presentation of a unified voice for small farmers, restaurateurs, consumers, and everyone in between, with an emphasis on the importance of grassroots initiative as a means to bring about large-scale change in the American food industry.”
As such, I will be posting all articles related to food there, and syndicating my articles back to Small Footprint Family a week later. This means you can get the latest and greatest sustainable food news, reviews and recipes from me first at Farm to Table, and then here, a week later.
If you read SFF for the food news, I hope you will check out the new Farm to Table, subscribe to our RSS, and join us in building a healthy, sustainable food system.
New Green Ventures
In the last month, I have also taken over the blog at Greater Goods, my favorite environmental department store (and a SFF sponsor). My Eco-Tip Tuesday posts will be published there first, then syndicated back here the following week too. I hope you will check out Greater Goods, read their blog, and maybe pick up a solar cellphone charger, biodegradable trash bags or CFL lightbulbs there next time you need them.
There are some other exciting green things coming up this year too: We have become founding members in a new Eco-Village forming in California, and I am intimately involved in the Permaculture, planning and design of both the buildings and the property. So stay tuned as I plan to post all that I learn as I research the latest in eco-friendly flooring and wallcovering, greywater systems, composting toilets, and the myriad other environmentally sustainable features we plan to incorporate into our new homes.
So, thank you, Dear Reader, for your patience over the last month. I hope you will enjoy reading about all the new, exciting stuff Small Footprint Family is up to this year.
