Somedays I feel like I left a part of my heart at the Downtown Bloomington Market, but I do love having an urban micro-farm and I have loved having more time to be a Dad. It's been great to grow a diverse lineup of vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, and fruits. And at times preserverving, or giving away the extras.
If you know who grows your food, thank them. Agriculture/small business is hard. Much Love to my farmer friends starting to feel the wind down of the season, that I'm sure has been challenging!

As you all know I've been interested and/or working in the local food network for the better part of the last 15 years. Going foward I will be featuring local farms and producers i believe in on this page.

I've helped out at The Table Farm and Workshop severally times now and I can say I have been blown away to really see how a small regenerative farm functions. Kyan has a deep depth of knowledge but at the same time isn't at all afraid to think through things differently with thoughtfulness and mindfulness to the land.

The rotation of pigs, chickens and veggies through the landscape brings to mind old diagrams (mother eath news) from the early days of the food revolution. Farms like these set themselves up for resiliency by creating their own inputs instead of depending on foreign fertilizers. They also become an environmental plus instead of an environmental problem. Now more than ever these small farms need you to keep your money local so they can keep doing things the right way.

Give Kyan a follow! Hit him up at the this Saturday 9-12!
