		<title>Smart (and not-so-smart) Choices</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A group of over a dozen major food companies have come up with a nutrition labeling program.  The program, called &#8220;Smart Choices&#8221; utilizes a large green checkmark, which is starting to appear on packaged food items in stores across the country.  The intention of the green checkmark is to help consumers make better food choices [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Allure of Farming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Facebook sounds like a part-time job to us, which is why we&#8217;re not on it; not by choice, at least.  Still, somehow people find our website through Facebook and write us emails about how &#8220;alluring&#8221; farming sounds.
Alluring?
Those emails have got me pondering whether or not I may have been reporting an imbalanced view of farming, [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Eating Local</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, my kids and I were invited on a whale-watching trip.  We showed up at the designated time and boarded a catamaran, ready to see some whales.  It was one of those really, really (did I mention the water spout?), really windy days - one of those kind of days when you don’t see…a…single…whale.  It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Secret Code? No, Side Salad.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Farmer Jer came across an article in a farming magazine announcing the arrival of a new leaf lettuce.  The lettuce, developed by geneticists, is known as MU06-857.  When I heard that, I started wondering if maybe I&#8217;ve seen way too many movies because to me that lettuce name sounded more like a weapon or a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thy Chives</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hippocrates said, &#8220;Let food be thy medicine.&#8221;  And so I have.
Yesterday one of my kids was riding down a steep hill when her bike went into speed wobble mode.  Following in the car, I watched the progression from wobble to awful crash.  Within 5 minutes, she had a huge bump on her head that had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hollan&#8217;s Opus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[South Shoreganics sends our congratulations to member Hollan Hamid on her award-winning recipe (The Garden Island, Jan. 14).  Having been at a potluck where Hollan once offered marinated barbequed broccolli in lieu of dessert, and watching as people ate every last bite of it, we aren&#8217;t the least bit surprised at her culinary award.  Not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rainbow Chard &#038; Sweetie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I typed rainbow chard into a search engine, and here is what I found:
Rainbow Chard, it seems is creating quite a buzz these days.  Touted as &#8220;hip&#8221; and &#8220;in,&#8221; it has received a ranking as a &#8220;trendy veggie.&#8221;  What exactly that means, I&#8217;m not sure.  Have celebrities been sighted eating it?  Are babies of jet-setters [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Eye of the Owl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About the time some of you were finding South Shoreganics, the birds were, too.  Let me stop here to interject that we like birds.  Especially doves.  In fact, one of our kid&#8217;s names means dove in another language.
That said, we also like cherry tomatoes.
So, about the time the doves were finding the cherry tomatoes, I [...]]]></description>
