Our fields in South Phoenix are starting to all be plowed down. It’s starting to get really hot out there. Here’s a video of my visit with Frank today. This is part one of three. We discuss tractors, getting our food from our fields in Duncan for the next few weeks, irrigating and a few other topics. Enjoy!

PS: if you could post a comment with how you’re enjoying our produce this Summer, I will pass it along to Frank and the harvesters. I think they’d like some happy thoughts to bring with them out in the sun and heat right now.

PPS: Sorry about the poor framing in the video. I’ll get better. In by defense, it is very bright out there and I can’t really see the viewing window.

Good afternoon!

I was fortunate enough to see Food Inc. last night at Harkins Camelview.  Were any of you there?  I know there was a group who saw it in Tucson too.

I wanted to see what you all thought about the movie. Do you think you will make any different choices about your food.  What did you think was the most impactful part of the move.  We’d love to hear what you think.

In case you haven’t seen it already, here’s a link to the trailer: http://www.foodincmovie.com/480×270.html?width=480&height=310
