About Savoring Kentucky

This web log is about the great pleasures of eating and drinking what comes from Kentucky’s soil, water, air, and growers. No one here is ordained or licensed as a therapist, so “preaching” and “oughtas” will be scarce. Yet the reasons for eating well and close to home include serious health and economic benefits as well as the delights of the table.

In Kentucky, we have the weather, land, water, and people to grow nearly everything we eat. We can be healthier, we can have better food and drink, and we can rebuild our heritage of eating as an incomparable delight shared with friends and loved ones.

We can sustain ourselves, our growers, and our land, eat well, and be kind to our world in the process. We can eat locally grown, delicious, fresh, sustainably and ethically grown, organic food and drink — in fact, we are on our way. Lots of people work on this everyday. Savoring Kentucky celebrates them and aims to encourage and support them.

May all of us enjoy Kentucky’s bounty and prosper together in ways we will be proud to pass along to our great-great-grandchildren.
