Real Food, beyond organic gardening skills, homesteading skills, good physical and emotional health, for ourselves, for our community, lowering our effective carbon footprints, starting with ourselves and our families. There are bound to be many topics, but it all stems from the food we eat and the community we build at the Otterkill Community Garden by the Trestle on Otterkill Road in Cornwall NY.

Making NYC more sustainable and more resilient We can be proud of NYC’s record as one the greenest large cities in the US.  For years, we’ve been describing green practices as making our communities more sustainable.  That’s good, but a little vague – leaving us to guess about exactly which existential threat is being implied – and how much the green practice in question will help, let alone ensure our civilization is still around in 10 or 100 or 10,000 years.  Then came Hurricane Sandy. The s …
