EAT NEUTRAL, START WITH SOMETHING GOOD

November 27, 2019 by David Gillaspie

The man in the picture is named Matt Plitch, Neutral founder. His start-up company is devoted to what it means to eat neutral. I met him at a Beaverton New Seasons near me. There I was in the final lap of Thanksgiving dinner shopping and he stood behind a table of cookies. Hmmm, new cookies? […]

TREATING CANCER WITH A POLYFACE FARMS MODALITY

June 27, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Treating cancer like Polyface Farms. The best results save the land and the person. Machiavelli said the end justifies the means. But only if the end shares a happy ending? A happy ending in cancer is a cured patient. I’m not looking for a ‘successful surgery but lost the patient’ deal.

THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE LISTENS TO JOEL SALATIN?

November 29, 2016 by David Gillaspie

If anyone pays attention it ought to be the Secretary of Agriculture. Where do you find yourself on food talk? Eat and move on? Cook and consume? Or maybe something with drama like the cooking show Chopped? Thoughts about food, more than just sitting down to eat, or fast food on the run, is […]

VICELAND, EMERALD TRIANGLE, FARMERS

November 18, 2016 by David Gillaspie

Weed farmers vs corporate cannabis. Farmers are the backbone of society. No farmer = no food is the usual view. No food means no happy people, no matter what North Korea says. Unhappy people means street fighting man comes out swinging. Then it’s taser, water cannon, arrests, trials, jail. Not a pretty picture anywhere. […]

POLYFACE OREGON EVOLUTION

October 28, 2016 by David Gillaspie

A state of many faces: Polyface Oregon (Inspired by Joel Salatin and Polyface Farms in Virginia) 1. Change your point of view. Is Oregon all about timber, fishing, and farming? Or a high tech mecca on the leading edge of Asian commerce? On one hand it’s a thriving environment for Airbnb, Uber, and OfferUp, start […]

IF YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, LOOK WHERE FOOD COMES FROM

October 7, 2016 by David Gillaspie

Small print shows where food comes from. Smaller print explains what food factories add to improve shelf life. You need good shelf life when you ship long distance. A three year expiration date on food might be something to skip for dinner. If you know people who identify as ‘foodies’ you’ve heard about the fresh […]

CAN HUGE LAND OWNERS LEARN POLYFACE FARM?

September 21, 2016 by David Gillaspie

If acquisition saves land, why not Polyface Farm it for improvement? These are the biggest land owners in America. Millions of acres for billionaires getting into land conservation, ranching, and farming. The farming part and ranching part remind me of Polyface Farms. Could land owners partner with Joel Salatin to turn farming and ranching into […]

INFLUENCER MARKETING FOOD PRODUCTION

September 13, 2016 by David Gillaspie

When an idea takes off with Influencer Marketing, it flies high. How many times do you see an ‘Organic’ label at the grocery store. How about ‘Natural?’ It’s all over television commercials, but what’s it mean? Is ‘organic’ a case of influencer marketing, or just a passing fad? Who’s the influencer? The question resonates with […]
