I'm on a little bit of an organic trip at the moment, or at least things seem to be following the law of "threes". Yesterday I received my egg delivery from Cornercopia- the student run organic farm at the University of Minnesota. This is a great benefit of working at a University, in the summer the students deliver organic produce to the offices, in the winter, organic eggs from their chickens. Aren't the colors gorgeous?
They also distribute a nice pamphlet explaining which eggs come from which chickens, for example, the Delaware Blue (I love seeing the fabulous chickens at the Minnesota State Fair every year!). My book club is also investigating food origins through reading the book The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. I haven't started it yet, but its been on my list for a while so I'm looking forward to it.
Finally, to round things out, I'm posting this picture of a baby beanie and mittens based on patterns from Louisa Harding's Natural Knits for Babies and Moms: Beautiful Designs Using Organic Yarns. For this project I used Organic Merino Wool from Tiny Birds Organics. Aren't they cute?
