Four years ago on January 26th, 2019 we were lucky enough to step on the TEDx Natick stage and share the story of Family Dinner. We talked about the need to shorten and strengthen the local food supply chain, to use data and technology to support the incredibly important work of small local farmers.

It was very slightly thrilling but mostly terrifying. It's a small miracle no one barfed on their shoes.

There is something about this weather that changes the foods our body craves. It's as if with every inch of snow that falls the drum beat of our Circadian rhythm calls ever louder, and with greater urgency, for pasta.

One of those magical places was Pine Ridge Acres in Cumberland, Maine.  Pine Ridge, run by Evan Putnam and his team, is nestled in rolling, verdant hills with cows lazily dotting the horizon. It's the physical manifestation of what your mind pulls up when it hears the word "farm". Simply idyllic.
