Farm to Table: It's in the details

I wrote a story about the Farm to Table festival a couple week ago, but more than anything I just wanted to take photos. Val Mosley was my photographer, though, and she did an awesome job. You can see my story and her slideshow here. I only took a few photos because I didn't want to steal her thunder (not that I could...she pretty much rocks). The results were lots of detail shots.

Columbia Farmers Market: Rainbow Eggs

Local Food Tastes Better...

...I swear it does. 

Some photos from my faux stop day breakfast with Breezy, Kaitlin and Beth at Cafe Berlin. I can eat meat here, too, so that's a plus. 

Owned. There will be no half orders for me.

I'd like some BBQ, but hold the meat, please.

I went to a little veggie dog bbq with Doug and his roommates, Kenny and Erica. It was my first grilled "vegetable protein link", and I really enjoyed it! After much discussion about factory farms in my Food and Culture in Film course and reading Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer, I have made some big changes in my diet. I'm not quite a vegetarian, but it's no meat for me unless I know it came from a family farm. Same goes for milk and eggs. It's been tough, but ultimately satisfying (and expensive...geeeeeez).

Buuuuut, you haven't come to my blog for a testimonial. I assume you've come for photos, and here you go!

BEEEEAAAANS

The aftermath.
