Join a “growing” movement of individuals working towards a healthier, tastier, and more sustainable food system.
What is a Kitchen Gardener?
First and foremost, Kitchen Gardeners love food, both product and process. They do not dream of eating a good tomato, but a true tomato, picked warm and juicy from the vine at the peak of its ripeness. Their enjoyment of the fruit is a complete one because it is inextricably entwined with the memory of the plant in its various stages of development. They taste not only the fruit, but the care and honest labor that went into making it. In this sense, Kitchen Gardeners are gastronomes of the highest order. Their love of food extends beyond the plate to the soil, the natural processes, and the diverse cultures that are at the origin of all good food.
What is Kitchen Gardeners International?

Sounds divine.
Oh... there are some people down the street from where I work who are now selling... drumroll... veggie oil for diesles. (I didn't spell that right, but you'll get it). I've been meaning to tell you for a week!
