Two big news items here. I have been awarded a much-coveted press pass to attend and cover the EcoFarm conference this month. The press coordinator for the conference saw my blog and, well, she loved it. She might have been under severe pressure (pitchfork to the temple, anyone?) to love it by some farmers who know me, I couldn't tell ya. But it's an extremely big deal to me, and I am thrilled.
Some of the biggest names in farming will be there. That's right: I said celebrity farmers. Celebrity farmers, you scoff? Well, yes, in a geeky sort of über-farm-geek way. I know, that's like saying "celebrity food blogger." Now if, say, Anthony Bourdain or Michael Ruhlman (to name two I admire, who have produced admirable writing) had a food blog, they would be celebrity food bloggers, but you know what I mean. Our blogging world, while filled with connections, friendships, and a growing sense of community, hardly constitutes a blip on the screen of "celebrity," but I think that's a good thing. We may be stars to each other, but I bet Brad Pitt doesn't have a single food blog in his feeds. Wait, he might have IHeartBacon.com on his list. (Doesn't he have a Bacon Whores t-shirt? Seems like I saw that somewhere. EDIT: I was right.)
