Across time and seasons, cultures and landscapes, people and technology – things change.
So goes it with the Concord Monitor’s food blog. “On the Food Trail” is not so much disappearing, though, as it is transitioning. As of today, it is “Ag & Eats,” a new blog focused not only on what we eat here in the Granite State, but where it comes from: land, animals, plants and farmers.
The content of this blog – which can still be found at food.concordmonitor.com – will be determined by where Monitor reporter Elodie Reed‘s curious appetite and favorite pair of black muck boots take her. Concord kitchens and local greenhouses, cow fields and pig pens, agricultural science classrooms and food shelves, your dinner table – they’re all fair game.
Carole Soule will continue writing about her day-to-day experiences as a farmer in Loudon, too – her posts can now be found in “Carole’s Corner.” (Old On the Food Trail posts are also still available).
The very nature of food is that it’s something we all share. We all must eat to survive. The food system – how it is cultivated, distributed, prepared, consumed and eventually disposed of – that’s something we all have a part in, too. Ideas, events, recipes and news of restaurants or farms beginning or ending are welcomed and encouraged from community members. Just email Elodie at ereed@cmonitor.com, call her at 369-3306, or tweet her @elodie_reed.
In the meantime, keep an eye on the Ag & Eats blog and the Concord Monitor Wednesday Food page, the Sunday Your Life page, and the news sections of the paper. There you’ll begin to see Elodie’s field notes on cows, Concord cuisine and everything in between.
