Some of you may have noticed we weren’t at the Westerville Farmers’ Market last Wednesday. Instead, we were in Pennsylvania. I have family there, and it was nice to visit, but the real reason for going was that I attended the NAIS Listening Session in Harrisburg. (There’s another one in Louisville this Friday if anyone [...]
Today is a gorgeous day, perfect for planting, but I took time to come home and watch my son so my wife, Mayda Sanchez, Secretary of the Farmers’ Market Management Network, Inc., could attend a meeting. The meeting (that she missed due to some scheduling confusion) was about a planned study of farmers’ market food [...]

Here’s a new write-up that I would like to do more research on. Please let [...]
Spring is officially here. We received our annual visit from the Health Department. No, I don’t mean the inspection for my mobile food vending license. I still need to schedule that. I’m talking about the follow-up on an anonymous complaint about the chickens that’s become something of an annual ritual here, typically about this time [...]

My loyal cluckers. Let me tell you the state of affairs here in Chicken City We’ve got Feed and that’s Lousy. Lousy with a capital L. Yes I’ said Lousy. Right here in Chicken City.

It’s been an eventful week. Spring is here. All my pet projects are starting their transplants. 4 Seasons City Farm has gotten a good start on setting up their gardens, Bella Cafe has their first salad pots ready for distribution to their host food pantry and Food not Bombs had their first [...]
