Hello everyone once again, it seems like it has been forever since I last communicated with the One Straw World; and now it is time to check in from the mountainous north in Burlington. I am now settled into the chaotic college routine, and have found time to accomplish the things that I want, like talk to you all. It is amazing up here, the local produce scene is amazing. Most every restaurant in Burlington boasts a menu filled with local meats and vegetables (if not filled, there is always some amount of local flavor). It pleases me beyond measure to know that I have decided to immerse myself into a college environment that cares so much about living a sustainable life. I look forward to integrating myself further into this new community of agriculture as I have back home in White Hall. While the local produce and the attitude is amazing up here, nothing will ever beat the taste of fresh One Straw produce and the company of family,
