Year of Plenty Interviewed Today for NPR Show “Edible Idaho”

I had a great time chatting today with Guy Hand, a Boise based writer and reported, who does an NPR radio show called "Edible Idaho." He's prepping for a show on churches involved with community gardens, with the primary focus on Boise Vineyard's Garden O' Feedin.

I'll post a link to the story when it airs in a couple of weeks but I wanted to highlight the work that Guy is doing with his Northwest Food News site and radio show. He's a great follow on Twitter if you're trying to keep up with west coast food happenings and a good one to fan on Facebook as well. I had been wondering who was putting out all the great content on the site and now I know.

Guy said the radio show get's picked up around the northwest and sometimes beyond. Let's hope maybe NPR in Spokane broadcasts it.

The Year of Plenty blog was created by Craig Goodwin in the winter of 2008 to chronicle the experiences of his family as they sought to consume everything local, used, homegrown or homemade. That journey was a wonderful introduction to people and movements in the Spokane area who are seeking the welfare of the community through local foods, farmers markets, community gardens, sustainable transportation, and more fulfilling and just patterns of consumption. In 2009 and beyond the blog will continue to report on these relationships and practices, all through the eyes of a family with young children. Craig manages the Millwood Farmers' Market, is a Master Food Preserver and Pastor at Millwood Presbyterian Church. Craig can be reached at goody2230@gmail.com
