Hi, welcome to Pasture Notes

Pasture Notes is my newsletter/blog/virtual resume. 

I left cooking to start farming with the goal of being a better chef and understand where our food comes from on a deeper level. And what it actually did is expose me to how fucked up everything is. 

So now I’d like to write about it here. But it isn’t all doom and gloom. It’s also delicious recipes, it’s revelations about raising animals, it’s my thoughts about a messed up food system and maybe some ideas about how to fix it. 

It is food and everything that makes that world spins. Whether that be farming, nutrition, restaurants, recipes or just random thoughts I have a need to write down while walking through a pasture and setting up fencing. 

What I promise not to do is misrepresent, be honest and open to ideas that differ from my own. And what I will not do, or no longer do, is point a finger at the ‘enemy’, because there isn’t one. Just people with different opinions. Ok, maybe IF there was an enemy it would be seed oils and processed foods.

And I really, really promise not to take myself too seriously. Food is fun. Animals are fun. Let’s live our best lives kindly.
