    I met Megan at a beekeeping meetup, and knew we had to have her on GardenFork Radio, so here we are at her place in GreenPoint Brooklyn to talk about urban homesteading. Megan’s sites are www.brooklynhomesteader.com and www.brooklynhoney.com

  • Ingimundur & Ulla Kjarval Raising Grass Fed Beef by Food Curate

    Ingimundur & Ulla Kjarval Raising Grass Fed Beef by Food Curate

    When the stars are in the right alignment, ( or whenver I can get my act together to schedule it ) Ulla Kjarval will be on GardenFork Radio. In the meantime, here is a great video about Ullah, her dad Ingimundur and their farm, Spring Lake Farm in Meredith, NY , by Liza de Guia, who blogs about food and makes great videos at her site, Food Curated.

    To me, Ullah is one of a few people who walks the talk; she has her feet in both the ‘social media food world’ and the ‘farm world’. Ullah is an advocate for grass fed meat, who farms and blogs. You can read more on her blog: Goldilock’s Farm Notes . She also runs a social media company, Sheep Dog PD.

    Liza’s site, Food Curated, is a great example of how people can use off the shelf technology to get out the message about a topic or issue they are passionate about. Liza’s energy clearly shows here, and she tells great stories. If you want to make videos and put them on the web, Food Curated is how to do it.
