Borodino Market @ Schoolhouse Farms: Seek warmth!

Seek warmth!

The clutches of Winter seem to be as relentless as ever. This winter will go down as one of the coldest in 100 years ands possibly one of the snowiest. I guess it is winter in the classic sense. The one our fore fathers endured.

Behind the frozen doors and windows lie the hopes for an awesome growing season for SHF1848. Dreams, seeds, soil, pots, tables benches and trays all waiting to spring into action. Borodino Market is transitioning away from a specialty shop to a sustainable on farm market. We can't wait to usher in the sunshine and smiles of the 2011 growing season. Think warm thoughts and keep checking back for more good farm news.

Slow Food USA & Living Slow

Living the slow life with food as the focus is as rewarding as it is easy, and it can be done daily by each one of us. Ultimately, it is about pleasure and taste, knowledge and choice. Once we begin to take an interest in the enjoyment of food, and in finding out where our food comes from, we can begin to see the effects of these choices. When we shorten the distance—both literal and figurative—that our food travels to get to us, we are participating in the Slow Food movement. Slow Food is about coming together as a food community—connecting producers and co-producers, coming together on the farm, in the market, and at the table—to create and enjoy food that is good, clean and fair.
Slow Food is also simply about taking the time to slow down and to enjoy life with family and friends. Every day can be enriched by doing something slow - making pasta from scratch one night, seductively squeezing your own orange juice from the fresh fruit, lingering over a glass of wine and a slice of cheese - even deciding to eat lunch sitting down instead of standing up. For example, here in the Slow Food USA office, we take a moment to eat lunch together every day.
