SA Cheese Festival 2010: Small Producers and Artisans
A little while back I took a look at what's natural and organic at the upcoming SA Cheese Festival (coming up this weekend, yay!). But natural and organic isn't the be-all and end-all. Just because a cheese is made in a natural way using organic ingredients, doesn't necessarily mean it's a great product.

On 6 March 2010 a group of Slow Fooders visited Spier to learn more about their biodynamic farming methods. more

Spring has sprung! Time to sign up for another season of farm-fresh CSA fare…
I love being part of the Cape Town CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) project. One of the joys of eating seasonally is the anticipation of the new crops that each season brings, and being part of a CSA you're right in the thick of it - what was growing, that morning, is now in your hands. And there's a new one all set up for spring! more
