I met Adrienne Young at Bonnaroo for a quick minute – she is lovely! If you listen to her music and get an understanding of who she is and what she is doing, you will understand.
Her album “Plow to the End of the Row” came with a packet of seeds, she supports local farmers [...]

For me it’s a no-brainer. Even without a supporting “study,” I’m willing to live my life with the idea that sustainable food is better for me. No pesticides – better. No added hormones and antibiotics – better. Animals treated “humanely” – better! And slowly, but surely, there is more and [...]

Take a Bite Out of Climate Change is a new project of the Small Planet Institute [...]
