Greetings! As is clear, I haven’t posted here for some time. Many reasons for that, but I’m sure the main one is that I’ve not had a very clear idea as to what the heck this blog is gonna be about. I was just toying with the idea of getting rid of it all together, and using Facebook as my main platform for communications. But after some reading, I was enlightened as to the true beauty of a blog, as it was well put by some tweeter-er: “Blogging is for deeper conversations with a longer shelf life for a broader audience”. So I’m keeping the blog and attempting to refine its purpose in hopes of offering something kinda juicy to my people, which can be a tall order in this media-crazed world.
The original theme of the blog was “positive news from the food revolution”; basically a funnel for all the interesting, inspiring tales I come across in my attempt to feel hopeful, at least about the direction of our food system. And I like this theme, but I wasn’t quite sure how it related very directly with my T-shirts which, well, I’d like to sell some of.
So I’ve decided to broaden the fertile field a bit, and rather than focus solely on farming stuff, basically just become the undisputed Queen of Vegetables on the internet, since that’s what this is all about. I LOVE VEGETABLES. And I’m guessing you do too, if you’re here. So maybe someday you will feel inspired to purchase a lovely symbol of your affections over in the shop, but in the meantime I’d love for you to hang out here, subscribe even, and participate in what I hope to be the greatest, most thrilling collection of veggie news, stories, and lore on the web, and I promise I’ll keep the veggie jokes to a minimum (though please do share yours!). Now I guess I have to Google ‘Vegetable Queen’ to see who I’m up against. I’ll let you know!
