Kale, Prince in Pauper’s Clothes
indiviewmedia • January 16, 2015
Kale might look like something that grows in the wild, but of all the super healthy greens kale is king. In addition to its vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals, kale has lots of fiber, that stuff that sweeps around and keeps our digestion tidy. It’s loaded with Vitamins C, A, B6, & K and a host of minerals. And can you believe it, kale even has protein .
Saute it with a little garlic, extra virgin olive oil and garlic vinegar for a side dish that goes outstandingly well with lamb. Another cool idea is kale chips. Just bake torn kale leaves drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and a little kosher salt in a 325° oven ’till they’re crisp, about 15-20 minutes.
Sound good? Of course it does!

I bet most people don’t think a simple bar of soap can make a difference in someone’s life. But to the surgeon that’s getting ready to dissect an aorta, or the harried mother who has to get dinner on the table in one hour, a bar of soap means the world in terms of germ […]

I remember my first trip to an apiary in California. I was excited to see how bees lived and how they made honey but knew very little about it. After a quick educational lecture about bees, honeycomb and honey, the bee farmer gave me a spoon filled with delicious, raw, unfiltered honey. That was the […]
Last year, countless people in our community faced hardship. Some lost jobs, some lost businesses, some ended up homeless and in shelters and despair was the common feeling. Farmers are, at heart, nurturers. We tend to soil, we tend to seeds, we tend to food and we tend to our community. That’s why, as a […]
