First came grass. Then came man. 50% of the human diet is composed of grass grains.  Think of corn, wheat, rice and sugar to only name some of the most popular.  Science tells us that human evolution took place on the grasslands. Most productive farmlands today are still located on ancient grassland. Some 40% of the earth's surface is covered in grass. Yet grasses success was NOT a foregone conclusion. 

I grew up on farms. I have built gardens. I have a Ph.D. in food systems. I have worked in the food industry at both the local and regional levels. Now I am bringing my passion for food directly to you!
