Food For Thought

In April I co-taught a short course (called Mini-Term) at NCSSM with another teacher and 20 students. In addition to reading Michael Pollan, discussing organic certification, Slow Food and watching some interesting films (including King Corn), we visited several "local food" sites. All of the people that we asked to visit agreed and all were incredibly gracious and informative. Here's where we went:

Elysian Fields Farm, Cedar Grove


SEEDS Garden, Durham


Goat Lady Dairy, Climax


Fickle Creek Farm, Efland


Watts Grocery


Durham Farmers Market

EDITED: most of the photography above and in the albums was done by recent NCSSM graduate Ha Thien Nguyen!

Your photography is really outstanding. I like the perspective on the goat, the chard, the eggs...

Yikes -- I mentioned in my Facebook albums but didn't mention above that most of the photography was taken by recent NCSSM graduate Ha Thien Nguyen. I've taken all the other stuff on the blog, though.

Oh, well, good eye, recent NCSSM grad!
