Hello
As a few of you know my wife and I had our second child a little while ago. This combined with me working on finishing a degree in web design and interactive media leave little time to keep expanding and organizing our little food media experiment County Fare. But fear not many exciting things are happening at this time and we will soon be able to translate them into this blog. In the mean time if you have something to contribute feel free to do so. I have set this up as a community resource for us to exchange information that will help support local food supplies as well as the health that this can translate into in terms of ourselves and our local economies.

New members in the Vimeo Group
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 | County Fare Site | No Comments
A few month ago I started a Vimeo Account to show some of the great homegrown food videos that are there. Not really sure what to expect from the community I was mostly using it a means to bring meaningful content to County Fare in the limited amount of time that I have to do so at this time.
I finally returned to the group to find that there were new members signed up! Very Cool! The worlds foodies will unite!
One member, Emily Ward, posted a video titled Real Food. You can see it here in the Video Feed, see the link at the top of the page, or go to the Vimeo Group page and see it there.
The Future of Food: Muy Importante!
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008 | Food Activism, Health, Minnesota, Organizations | No Comments
The Future of Food, a film by Deborah Coons Garcia and Lily Films, is an important look into the state of our current food supply. People sometimes ask me why I have taken the stand that locally produced agriculture is important. My replies are always shallow because I can’t sit down with them for the hours it takes to explain the depth of the issue. This film is an excellent resource for knowledge and does a great job of stringing together the pieces of the puzzle that are often hidden from us.

Ital recipes. rasta vegan natural food
Thursday, November 6th, 2008 | Food Writing, Health, Recipes | 1 Comment
I’ve heard of Ital cooking before. And after reading one of Natalia Rose’s book on raw food I’ve been introduced to a whole new cuisine. This is something I will follow up on soon.
“Ital is a term used by Rastas, derived from “vital”, which means a natural and healthy way of life. One aspect of Ital is the Ital food: because the body is a temple, you should not eat unpure food. Also you must take care of your body, cause it is Jah creation. Body is the Chapel. Ital is generally a vegan diet, even if some Rastas eat fish. Some prohibit salt, some not. In all cases, Ital prohibits pork, preservatives, chemical ingredients. Ingredients have to be the most natural possible.In Jamaica, Ital cooking is most often inspired from Indian and African cooking. But lot of recipes can be “Italized” if prepared only with vegetables and natural ingredients.”

P is for Peach
Monday, November 3rd, 2008 | Food Writing | No Comments
Once I had the opportunity to eat a peach. This experience was the inspiration for exercise one chapter one.
Have you ever eaten a peach? And, I don’t mean any orange wedge that slops out of a can and hits the bottom of a bowl with a dull phwap like a wet sock. I mean an honest to goodness fuzzy ball of light orange that deepens to crimson as you turn it in your hand…intoxicated by the sweet smell of magnified Sol. By the time the soft fuzz brushes your lips the aroma is firing nearly every synapse of interconnected gray matter. The bite. Thick ripe juices flow over your tongue and down your cheek. The sweetness of life sends a shock wave from your mouth to your brain which in turn ricochets its report to every last cell. Your eyes roll and close. Surely, an involuntary reaction to this toe curling delight.
