newsletter, winter 2011Greetings, Our garden yield is down this winter due to the extreme cold and snow, but we are finding other options.... A "growing" segment of the farm-to-table food movement is the winter CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share. In the Asheville area, we have Winter Sun Farms (www.wintersunfarmsnc.com) where you can purchase food which was harvested locally last summer, frozen for distribution and is available now. We have also heard that there is local, fresh, winter-grown produce available for pickup at the Asheville Downtown Market through Asheville Local Foods Online (www.ashevillelocalfoods.com/). If you are not in the Asheville area, there might be a winter CSA where you live. Check around if not for this season, then for next winter. Wintergreen (www.winter-green.org) helps show people how to take advantage of four-season food growing opportunities. Think about low tunnels and row cover as a way to get your spring garden started earlier.... "Got Seeds?" Cooking TipsWe are often asked what we personally eat on a daily basis. These are some of our everyday, gluten-free and plant-based dishes: Breakfast
Lunch Snack
Dinner Instead of soup, substitute a small bowl of cooked beans, a bean salad or some cooked grain. ClassesThe class calendar for the first half of 2011 is now posted.

Tid-BitsT. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, is featured in a new movie “Forks Over Knives” which appears in theaters starting March 11, 2011. We highly encourage you to attend an early screening and to hear Dr. Campbell speak. There is a screening in Charlotte, NC on Feb 5th at Charlotte Sharon and in Asheville, NC on February 10-11. Here is a link for more information about the early screenings: www.forksoverknives.com/screenings/. You can view the trailer at this website, too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPJbYAYzP04&hd=1 Many people who hear about our house and school want to see photos. Our architect, Chris Larson, recently launched a website with new photos of many of his projects including our house and teaching kitchen, “The Meadow House.” If you are interested in unique home designs, you will see a lot of eye candy here: http://chrislarsonarchitect.com/meadow-house/ Late last year, Dr. Joel Furman spoke at the World Preservation Foundation global conference. His thirteen minute presentation, "Reducing Health Care Costs While Improving Care: A Dietary Approach," is worth the time to view (he speaks quickly...but clearly!). His powerpoint presentation is available at the WPF site along with videos of other speakers. You can find them at this website: www.worldpreservationfoundation.org/events.php?id=16 QuoteA hug is a great gift. One size fits all and it's easy to exchange. In Joy, From an article "Raw Deal" in July, 2009 Verve Magazine (click on the photo to see more).
