Raising Omega-3-Rich Chicken | MOTHER EARTH NEWS
In response to news that Omgea-6s and Omega-3s are out of balance in the standard Western diet, health-minded consumers now purchase pasture-raised poultry meat and eggs. However, as demand increases, many consumers are priced out of healthful food markets. Thankfully, small-scale poultry providers — oftentimes called “flocksters” — offer us a workable model to produce omega-3-maximized chicken, eggs, and other poultry products on a modest budget.
Simple Garlic Confit with Herbs
This is a DANGEROUS recipe. It does not properly deter the growth of harmful bacteria nor does it get rid of the harmful spores they produce. The oil temperature must go above 250F for a period of 20 minutes in order to properly get rid of the spores produced by the clostridium botulinum bacteria. The oil should be kept in the fridge. I've been doing this for over 50 years now and I know that garlic conefit can last for easily 6-9 months in the refrigerator in the olive/vegetable oil.
Why we wassail
The night was so cold that neither of our dogs dared leave their warm dens—even though they were certainly listening, and undoubtedly wondering what on earth the ragtag group of humans was up to out in the frigid midnight air. The answer, in a word: wassailing. In addition to being the season of resolutions, January is the season of wassailing. In Europe and early America, Twelfth Night was the traditional night for wassailing. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Spotlight: Make Eureka solar farm decision based on facts, not emotions
I attended the Woodford County board meeting on Aug. 21, and was pleased to see representative democracy in action, as people from our community stood up to speak respectfully for or against the proposed solar farm in Eureka. Each side had good points, but in the end it is our governmental bodies that are tasked with making the hard decisions on land use following established procedures and laws.
A separated family's long road to reunification
A few months ago, Yeni Garcia González and her three children stepped over a low fence in the Arizona desert and entered the United States. It was the last step of a 2,000-mile journey from their village in Guatemala and their first step into the Kafkaesque world of U.S. immigration policies. Since that day in May, González and her children— Deyuin, 6, Jamelin, 9, and Lester, 11—have experienced the best and the worst of the United States.
How to Keep Your Garlic Perfect for Months
At my brother Henry’s farm in central Illinois, we harvest most vegetables throughout the season—a few greens this week, a few more the next. But garlic is an entirely different story. The garlic is planted all at once in the late fall, and the mature plants are harvested all at once in late June or early July. Which means that in a few weeks, I'll be knee-deep in the stuff as I help pull, sort, bunch, tie, and hang garlic plants—20,000 of them!—from the barn rafters to dry.
The springtime gift of sorrel
Farmers and gardeners will tell you: “Spring is all about waiting for dry soil.” And that’s mostly true. Tractors and tillers do not work well in wet soil because they create lumps and clumps that become rock-hard when the soil dries. Even when farmers plant by hand, the muddy ground makes it difficult for the plant’s roots to make their way down into the soil and for the cotyledons to force their way up.
A trash-to-table feast at Slow Food Nations
On the cordoned-off street near Denver’s Larimer Square, a dozen chefs worked intently to prepare a dinner for about 100 people.
Why Washington’s First Lady is Growing Her Own Grains | Civil Eats
The First Lady of Washington State, Trudi Inslee, had something unusual growing alongside the tomatoes, chard, and kale in the garden of the governor’s mansion in Olympia, 60 miles south of Seattle: amber waves of grain. No, not the sort growing in the state’s eastern agricultural belt, where the farm fields extend endlessly to the horizon. Instead, two of Inslee’s nine raised beds were sown for the first time with wheat and barley varieties developed by Washington State University’s Bread Lab.

Luscious Passion Fruit Is A Food For The Senses
It was in Hawaii that I got my first exhilarating taste of passion fruit. The Maui market vendor's knife expertly sliced through the mauve skin at the top of the egg-sized fruit, revealing bright orange innards that reminded me of salmon roe. He quickly carved the sliced-off cap of the fruit into a scoop, and dipped it into the glistening orange mass to offer me a taste. The first thing I noticed was the intoxicating tropical floral aroma.
Keep lyrical tradition alive: Roast chestnuts this holiday
After nearing extinction, American chestnuts are poised for a comeback.
At the Farmer's Market, Bigger is Better
A battle-hardened veteran of market haggling holds up an eight-inch long zucchini. “How much is this one?” “One dollar,” my brother Henry—who’s been growing and selling his vegetables at the Evanston Farmers' Market for over two decades—replies. She pulls out one the size of a baseball bat. “And this one?” “One dollar.” She waggles the eight-incher. “One dollar?” She brandishes the bat. “One dollar?” “Yep.” Her stern countenance melts fleetingly into an expression of barely suppressed glee.
Celebrate Breakfast With Zesty Polenta Cake
And why not? Some studies show that a high carbohydrate and high protein breakfast actually helps people shed pounds. So it turns out your Marie Antoinette breakfast need not be a guilty pleasure. You can actually have your cake and lose weight, too. In fact, this easy one-bowl take on the classic Italian Amor Polenta cake of Lombardy is far healthier than most processed breakfast cereals — full of the wholesome goodness of corn, butter, eggs and almonds.
