Oh my gosh, it tastes like gum!") to bigger changes affecting the eating habits of whole families, our school garden is slowly changing the way students think about their food.

When Mike Smieja sold his marketing firm in 2006 and decided to attend business school, he had one solid goal: start a new company that would make millions of dollars. But a zucchini and a jar of blueberry jam changed everything. While attending school, Smieja kept a small home garden, and occasionally helped his father do a little farming in Grand Marais. During a bumper crop of zucchini, he gave an older woman in his neighborhood one of the nicest ones. Around the same time, he spoke to another elderly neighbor, who mentioned a love of blueberry jam. Smieja brought him some after a blueberry picking session at his father&apos;s, and during the delivery, the other neighbor came over with zucchini bread. &quot;They started talking to each other, and it turns out they lived on the same block for 10 years, and had never even met,&quot; recalls Smieja. &quot;That moment changed my direction. I began to see the connection between community and food, and I ...

Earlier this week, I had my first vegetable harvest—some lovely leaves from my three lettuce-bowl gardens, dressed with a ranch-style dressing spiced up with snips of chives and parsley from the yard. I love the taste of home-grown leaf lettuce, which seems softer and more earthy than the big, crunchy heads you get at the grocery store. These salad bowls were really easy to put together. I started several types of lettuce under lights indoors in early April. Later in the month, I planted them in large containers filled with a homemade potting mix. Due to our erratic spring, I had to move them in and out of the house during really cold weather, but for a couple of weeks now, the bowls have been on the front patio, soaking up the sun and the rain and getting big and delicious. One of the bowls contains ‘Pablo’ lettuce, and heirloom head lettuce from Seed Savers Exchange . The other bowls have a leaf lettuce ...
