A Split 'n' Share Success Story

It Takes A Village To Make A Sausage
Two pigs, thirty people, a lot of sausage.
During a two-day workshop at Mead Orchards in Tivoli, NY, butcher Bryan Maher and chef Daniel Meyer of Brooklyn's The Green Grape taught a village about preparing hog from head to tail. The weekend's menu included pork belly braised in milk and honey, Northeastern picadillo with apples and dates, and breakfast with apple fritters fried in pork lard.
The Greenhorns, a nonprofit film project about young farmers, and Smithereen Farm sponsored the event.

Who's Who: Kevin Cahill, state assemblyman
In the month before the 2008 elections, I spent a few good hours talking with Assemblyman Kevin Cahill. I interviewed him about property taxes, education funding and bringing green business to the Hudson Valley. But the story I most often re-tell from those conversations is about food.
Cahill told me that every morning he eats a… Continue
