| Introduction | I'm a music teacher who uses my day job to support my gardening habit, which in turn supports my obsession with good food. Healthy food. Local, just, fair, accessible, sustainable, and interesting food! Who knew it could be so many things? I cultivate an urban garden in zone 5 with an emphasis on organic and heirloom vegetables. I don't have a lot of space, time or answers, but I do have the desire to see change in our food systems. |

I will live in my classroom. For some magical, wonderful, blessedly amazing reason, my students are hideously honest. All 225 of them. All the time.
