I just recently found time to read the FALL edition of Edible Portland (www.edibleportland.com), a fabulous FREE magazine found online and in the big natural foods markets. An article that caught my attention profiles Stahlbush Island Farms in Corvallis, OR., who has built a first-of-its-kind biogas plant that burns their own crop residue for fuel and has made them 100%  energy independent. Very Cool. This kind is the kind of thing that makes me a little giddy- local food, energy independence, possibilities for a sane future…

Here is the link to the farm: http://www.stahlbush.com/sustainable-farming/energy/, and if you want to read the article, go to the Edible Portland site, go to the archives, and open up the Fall 2010 issue, it’s on page 35.
