Greetings grain lovers, Ah, friends, where do I even begin with telling you about the Asheville Bread Festival? Wowza, this bread shin-dig was inspiring, fun, educational, and illuminating. I loved how it brought the whole community out to eat bread, and also encouraged community members to learn more about their local grain economy. There were classes all over town for every skill level. I met some of the bread world paragons whose work I’ve been following for years, but I also just got to hang with some laid-back, down-to-earth folk who want to eat well and change the world. … Read more

Greetings grain lovers, Today, I have very few words. It’s still raining like hell and there are cherries bursting into place. So it goes. Here’s a poem.   Every Day You Play by Pablo Neruda Every day you play with the light of the universe. Subtle visitor, you arrive in the flower and the water, You are more than this white head that I hold tightly as a bunch of flowers, every day, between my hands. You are like nobody since I love you. Let me spread you out among yellow garlands. Who writes your name in letters of … Read more
