A lot of people (myself included!) get confused over all the labels out there for sustainable food – free range, cage free, natural, organic, etc. We have a Sustainable Dictionary on the Sustainable Table site, if you’d like to see what some of the definitions mean, but they can be confusing and vague.

Seattle-based Grist ran an interview with our own Diane Hatz today (cleverly titled “Snack and Diane”–a little tribute to Farm Aid co-founder John “don’t-call-me-Cougar” Mellencamp).
Got a question for the woman behind Sustainable Table? Send them to Grist tomorrow before midnight Pacific–they’ll send some of the best questions on to Diane and post them at [...]

Wow! What a tour we’ve had – we officially ended this past Sunday, September 9th, at the Farm Aid show on Randall’s Island in New York City – it was the perfect way to end The Eat Well Guided Tour of America! I’m still reeling from the amazing response we got from [...]
