A Preamble

Partly into the summer of 2009, I have found myself in a rather unique position. Unique for me, at least.

I've been transplanted into the middle of the Berkshire Mountains in western Massachusetts and my evenings and weekends are no longer filled with the frantic studying and/or beer drinking that have characterized the past three years of my life. No more summer courses, no more dueling part-time jobs, and no more city hustle and bustle. (Ah- mountains!)

Instead, I find myself in the Berkshires for a new summertime occupation: working on an organic vegetable farm. You know that New York Times article on farming summer internships? After it was published, about five different people sent me that article knowing all too well that the student described in it was, basically, me. Perhaps slightly less idealistic, but still, I'm one of those vegetarian types who takes no greater pleasure than in potluck dinner parties and refining my methods for shopping at natural food stores on a budget.

But this isn't a manifesto for healthy sustainable eating. You have Michael Pollan for that. (Highly recommended, of course).

Finally with some time on my hands, this is the food blog I've been meaning to get around to for a loooooong time.

So raise your glasses of organic microbrew to hopes of fresh greens, amateur photography, and tasty grub!!

Cheers,
Hannah
