"Reaping What You Sow"

Lovely sugar snap peas

Now is prime time to plan your garden - either starting some seeds in a sunny spot in your house, in trays under a grow light or just collecting seed packets, anticipating the end of cold nights.

Check out my latest blog post for E Magazine on the safest and best seed companies to support this growing season and in future ones.

Farmageddon the Documentary

Farmageddon Trailer from Kristin Canty on Vimeo.

About the film: "Armed guards point guns at watermelons and USDA officials incinerate healthy sheep in this new documentary by Kristin Canty. This powerful film exposes the government’s war on American farmers and co-ops that supply fresh, unprocessed foods to consumers concerned about personal, ecological and economic health."

Check out the Farmageddon screening tomorrow at the Litchfield Hills Film Festival. (More info. on that link.)

The hypocrisies that exist in the food system are deplorable and corrupt. Hopefully this film sheds light on the issues, inequities and obstacles facing small, local and responsible producers.
