Terra Madre is an international network of food producers, cooks, educators and students from 150 countries who are united by a common goal of global sustainability in food. The "food communities" of Terra Madre come together biennially to share innovative solutions and time-honored traditions for keeping small-scale agriculture and sustainable food production alive and well.

Several months ago Liza Jane and I submitted an application to be chosen as delegates from the United States. We were chosen based upon the traditions we uphold in ranching and the values we maintain in raising food. I also submitted based on my aspirations to become a restaurant owner and chef.

We will be getting on a plane next this Wednesday from Portland to Torino, Italy and could not be more thrilled. The event is held to honor small producers and help them succeed. I cannot wait to fill all of you in when we get home.

I am not a planner and therefore have no expectations for the trip other than I fully expect to come home with enough networks and inspiration to change the world.

Talk to you soon!

Ciao!
