Unity Farm Journal - Third Week of August 2016
I ’m on “vacation” this week, working remotely from the farm, so no Wednesday blog post, but here’s the Unity Farm update.I always tell my staff that management is balancing scope, time and resources. To much scope and not enough makes resources very grouchy unless they are augmented.The same thing is true about managing a farm. Unless you set a scope that is achievable with the resources you have, the time (defined as the seasons in the farming year), living things, including your own well being, will suffer.As we plan for 2017, something we ’re doing during my slack time this week, we’e set a...

3 Ways to Play in Food Without the Mess
Speech-language pathologists often recommend kids explore food by getting messy—sinking hands deep into yogurt, painting with pudding or squishing avocados to make “hand-made” guacamole. For kids hesitant to engage in messy play, however, or parents who can’t embrace it every day, try these three tips for encouraging kids to explore food. It’s often the first step to learning to eat new foods:
Mosaic pepper pictures: Bell peppers are one food hesitant eaters might resist touching. Their tactile system might recoil at the slightly wet interior of the pepper. Cut peppers into strips and remove any excess seeds, th...

Unity Farm Journal - First Week of July 2016
When running a farm you sometimes feel like MacGyver - given a few 2x4s, a piece of hardware cloth, and a box of bags, create a compost bagging machine. Every year, we produce about 10,000 pounds of organic compost from alpaca manure (a 16:1 carbon to nitrogen ratio) and timothy hay (a 45:1 carbon to nitrogen ratio), resulting in a perfect blend of Unity Farm “Llama beans” which has a 25:1 carbon to nitrogen ratio. Alpaca compost has been described as “gardener’s gold” because of its perfect balance of nutrients. One cubic foot weighs 33 pounds, so we can produce 300 bags for sale each year. &...

The Sting of the Tarantula Hawk: Instantaneous, Excruciating Pain - Undark
Stung by a tarantula hawk? The advice I give in speaking engagements is to lie down and scream. The pain is so debilitating and excruciating that the victim is at risk of further injury by tripping in a hole or over an object in the path and then falling onto a cactus or into a barbed-wire fence. Such is the sting pain that almost nobody can maintain normal coordination or cognitive control to prevent accidental injury. Screaming is satisfying and helps reduce attention to the pain of the sting. Few, if any, people would be stung willingly by a tarantula hawk. I know of no examples of such bravery in the name of knowledge,...

Unity Farm Journal - Fifth Week of April 2016
Unpredictable New England weather continues - we’ve had temps in the 70’s and temps below freezing. Hard frosts are tough on new leaves and buds, so we’re assuming the fruit tree crops will be diminished this year. We’ll hold off on hoop house planting of our tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants until the first week of May. Although we may have cold weather in May, the soil temperatures of the hoop house are likely to be sufficient to support cold sensitive plants.We’re continuing our Sunday morning lettuce harvest ritual. This year, we’ll be able to sell about 500 heads of Boston, ...

Naturopaths should be restricted from treating children. Here’s why.
You may be aware of Ezekiel Stephan, a 19-month-old boy, who died in 2012, after his parents chose home remedies and naturopathy for the treatment of viral meningitis. The parents currently are on trial in Canada for failing to provide the necessities of life.
Over the course of many days, Ezekiel’s condition rapidly deteriorated, but his parents chose to “give him as much natural product as possible,” including syrup, frozen berries and a mixture of apple cider vinegar, horseradish root, hot peppers, mashed onion, garlic and ginger root. By the time Ezekiel began slipping in and out of consciousness, ...

Valentine Veggie Parties
I often have parents who want my sessions to focus on helping kids learn to eat healthier foods, especially vegetables. On the journey to developing the oral motor skills necessary for biting, chewing and swallowing a variety of vegetables, simply interacting with these foods via food crafts and food play develops a positive relationships with Brussels sprouts, carrots and more. Holidays offer ideal opportunities for food play, especially Valentine’s Day.
From classroom parties to neighborhood get-togethers, Valentine’s Day is traditionally a sugar-fest of red, pink and white candy, frosting and sprinkles. Why n...

Keto rice bowl with slow roasted pork belly
I'm writing this post as I'm inhaling said rice bowl. Apparently it's good enough to inspire me to dust off the old blog and forever document it's amazingness on the interwebs. Plus I have an appointment with my Endo in 1 month and I need to be super strict Keto to get my A1c down to a decent number. Goals!! Doing Keto right requires planning. You have to hit your macros if you want stellar results. Usually I'm a lazy ass ketoer , but I'm inspired by the freshness of 2016 to perhaps not be so lazy. We'll see. But this week I have planned out all my meals and one of them is this rice bowl. I love Asian inspired flavors...

Narrative Matters: Poems By Patients And Consumers
Editor’s note: This spring, Health Affairs held its first ever poetry contest. Three winning poems were published in the journal. We’re also featuring some of our other favorites on the Blog throughout the month of October.
You Are A Job
You forget that you are someone’s job
something they want to hurry away from
a way to pay bills, daycare, college fees
You remember when your butt goes numb
45 minutes of hard plastic pressed in soft flesh
You remember when supper comes late,
tea cup, empty, soup cold, or missing,
no tater tots, no salad, no grapes
each and every day, irksome things you cannot undo
