(This is the second installment of Diane Hatz’s series – Sustainable Table’s Guide to Good Food.)
Exactly what are sustainable farming and/or sustainable food, and what is organic agriculture? Those are questions I hear quite often. A general concept of organic has been seeping into the mainstream, but many people are still confused by [...]
Welcome to our first installment of Sustainable Table’s Guide to Good Food! I’d like to provide you with simple ways to shop smarter, eat healthier and make the best food choices for you and your family. I have come to realize that our website is getting quite large, and it might seem a [...]
This week, the New York Times ran a story called “Michelle Obama’s Agenda Includes Healthful Eating” (March 11, 2009) which we posted here on the Daily Table on Wednesday. The article discusses how our First Lady is promoting healthy eating and living, including an emphasis on fruits, vegetables and unprocessed foods, as well as [...]
At the beginning of this month, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) came out with their 2007 Ag Census. According to the USDA’s site, “The Census of Agriculture, taken every five years, is a complete count of U.S. farms and ranches and the people who operate them. The Census looks at land use and [...]
I must admit, I’m not a political person. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I vote and do my civic duty, but I don’t follow politics (well, except for the Daily Show) or call my Congress-people or get involved on a political level. I’m one of those people who believe change first comes from the ground [...]

Hi! First, I wanted to let you all know that I’ll be starting back up the “At the Table” column – it will probably be bi-weekly due to lack of time (this sustainable food work has gotten so popular! – that’s the reason there haven’t been any columns for a while) – but I [...]
Dawn and I are back and (nearly) recovered from LOHAS and our Bonnaroo to Boulder trip, so I thought I’d share a little information about LOHAS and why we were there. LOHAS stands for Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability – it’s basically a segment of the market that’s been identified by business so companies [...]
I’m very fortunate to have the opportunity to work from Sedona, AZ, this month. I flew out here yesterday, and, I have to admit, I’m one of those people who simply love to look out an airplane window. I don’t care if there’s nothing out there but sea and clouds – I can [...]
