Oct 10th, 2011 at 11:00AM: There are goat people, and then there...aren't. We're like dog people, except we can't carry the objects of our obsession in our purse. There aren't city parks dedicated to goats.
I grew up with goats because my brother and I raised them for 4-H. When we got our first dairy goat in the mid-'70's, my mom tapped her inner hippie, experimenting with making yogurt from the prodigious amounts of ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Farmers' markets are not only a great way to sample a community's natural bounty, they're also a unique setting to experience its culture. While each farmers' market is different, a really good farmers' market brings a sense of community to the cities and municipalities where they operate. Wondering where you can experience some of the freshest produce, tastiest snacks and friendliest people ...Big Island Hawaii: A budget travel guide
Jan 27th, 2010 at 10:30AM:

Here are a few tips to help you do it.
Forget the luxury hotels.
At $300, $500, or even more per ...From Dawn Til' it's Gone: Hilo Farmer's Market is a must-visit
Sep 15th, 2009 at 12:00PM: Whenever I travel, I make a point of hunting down the local farmers market. I'm obsessed with them. Whether I'm nibbling fresh-from-the-oven baguette in Southwest France, chomping down on a grilled sausage sandwich topped with Walla Walla onions in Washington State, or noshing a big plate of pork ribs in French St. Martin, I've found that the best way to get a true taste of what your destination ...Chicago City Provisions organic farm dinners
Aug 25th, 2009 at 11:00AM:
It's Green Travel Month here at Gadling, so to get into the green spirit, I booked a special dinner with Chicago's City Provisions Catering and Events, an eco-friendly catering company. City Provisions works with local farmers and suppliers, sends its organic waste back to farmers for composting, and sources all of its ingredients from organic and sustainable providers. The company offers ...The Accidental Chef Travels: A culinary journey through Southwest France
Jul 22nd, 2009 at 9:00AM: "Here's to those who show up", cookbook author and artisan chef Kate Hill announces as we raise our glass of Baron D'Ardeuil Buzet (a Merlot blend) to toast the fruits of our afternoon labor. Yet, labor might be considered a misnomer, since by no means did I consider those precious hours tasting Floc de Gascogne, a local specialty made from Armagnac, while touching and tasting my way around ...Undiscovered New York: Green NYC
Jul 8th, 2009 at 2:00PM: You can't go more than 10 feet lately without hearing about the burgeoning green movement. Whether its organic food, carbon footprints or green travel, it's a word on the tip of everyone's tongue. For travelers on the hunt for all things green, New York City is not exactly the first eco-destination you might conjure. Yet remarkably, the past 15 years have seen New York City dramatically cleaning ...Become a chef for a day at the Lodge at Vail
Jul 3rd, 2009 at 8:00AM: Culinarily inept? Well, if you are, you're not alone (and you're in good company ... with me). The Lodge at Vail, a RockResort, has exactly the solution for those of us who believe cooking dinner involves a phone call. The Colorado Cookin' package will make you a chef for a day, as Executive Chef Rahm Fama takes you through the local farmers' market and into the Cucina Rustica restaurant's kitchen ...Florida's Winter Park: Orlando for adults
Apr 27th, 2009 at 8:00AM: Winter Park is often described as Orlando's answer to the Hamptons on Long Island. There are large houses, upscale shops, wine bars and experiences that you generally wouldn't associate with Orlando. Only about 15 minutes from downtown Orlando, it's a great day trip for families that are worn out by the breakneck pace of the theme parks.
The main attraction is Park Avenue, the heart of the local ...Budget Travel: Seattle
Feb 24th, 2009 at 11:45AM: Summary: Mention "Seattle" and what's likely to come to mind are coffee, microbrews, and weather. But look a little closer at the local's city, and you'll find a place appreciated for the arts and green space. Defined and inspired by its waterways, evergreen forests, seven hills, and mountains on either side, the Emerald City is a place that begs to be explored by land and sea. It may have a ...Budget Travel: San Francisco
Jan 8th, 2009 at 2:20PM: Summary: Frequently at the top of the best US cities lists, San Francisco is many visitors' favorite, but might not be the first on the mind for cheap travel. But this easy-natured, west coast city, known for its counterculture, sourdough bread, and colorful Victorian homes, boasts just as many quaint neighborhoods and other understated gems as it does tourist landmarks. Easy on the eyes, easy ...
