The good thing about insomnia is that it gives me time to catch up on blog posts and small farming websites that I’ve neglected.
While tooling around, I realized I missed an entire section of the NYT’s Magazine devoted to “Food Fighters” earlier this month.
The Food Fighters featured in a slide show include one of my favorite farms to watch: Maverick Farms , an education oriented farm in North Carolina.
I also have a new hero: Farmgirl/filmmaker Severine von Tscharner Fleming. She created Serve Your Country Food, a site devoted to tracking farmers younger than 40, a fast-growing population.
I love the audio that goes with the show. The foodies profiled talk about what they have in their refrigerators.
No surprise that Tom Philpott, of Maverick, has his fridge loaded with farm fresh goodies from his place and from neighboring operations.
I wonder if the food photographer showed up unannounced. I’d be horrified if someone starting taking shots of the innards of my fridge. God only knows what’s really back there.

Do McCain and Palin have a vested interest in this farm?Hee hee.There is no way that anyone is allowed to photo my fridge. It is better than when you tried to stow your thick cut bacon and amish butter. By better, I mean that it shuts. 🙂

Oh I pray that no one wants to photo my fridge. Troy keeps a clean house and I try to help, but you don’t want to see my restaurant left overs and my ziploc containers of only the LORD knows what. I know I’ve forgotten because I don’t cook often enough. Not to mention the individually packaged items for quick use(juice, applesauce, pudding cups). Nothing farm fresh. I am embarassed. I do have some fresh fruit with apples and grapes. And a head of iceburg lettuce (no nutritional value, I know)nd a package of carrots. All from Aldi of course. Better than nothing I guess.
