  4. Farmers' markets are growing faster than zucchini

    Anyone who squeezes through a crowded farmers' market knows that now is prime time for locally grown produce. The summer's bounty — sweet corn, squash, eggplant, melons, peaches, berries, tomatoes — has arrived with the intensity of a thunderstorm. Everything looks inviting, even the okra (those green pods that when boiled become a dish some wouldn't touch with a 10-foot fork).

  5. Shortening the food chain

    The United Nations predicts that by October, the number of humans on the planet will exceed 7 billion. The organization simultaneously reports that nearly 1 billion people on the planet are hungry. The knee-jerk response is that farmers can't keep up.

  8. Cafeteria conundrum

    My daughter Arielle had her first day of kindergarten last week. Parents were invited to stay in the classroom through circle time.

More than half a million Marylanders get help affording food through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
