Slowly, but surely I’m recreating the 9–count them–9 blog posts I lost in the transition. Enough complaining though. There’s a salad to tell you about. But first, I want to rant. I’ve seen a number of posts on Facebook and Twitter from folks downing those individuals who have decided to

Raw Moroccan Carrot Salad
Posted by Tiffany Griffin
Ok, so I’ve calmed down from my last post where I was ranting about the inequities involved in shutting down the South Central LA Farm. I’m calm and I’m ready to tell you about my new job! As many of you know, I moved to DC to transition from being
