Hi All,

This afternoon, I participated in the Laurie M. Tisch Center for Food, Education and Policy’s Virtual Career Fair, where I met many prospective students, interested in the field of sustainability, food, and the environment. As I scrolled through my slide presentation, with the myriad of groups that have visited the iEat Green homestead over the years, I was reminded of life before Covid. I used to have girl scout troops, school groups, birthday parties, bridal showers, and kids from a local food pantry all pass through my gardens during the summer months, but the last two years have been so quiet. I am hoping my visitors return, so I can spread the joy and pleasure of growing heirloom vegetables, harvesting them, creating a recipe, and sharing a beautiful meal around the convivial table!

If you have an interest in learning about organic agriculture, sustainability, cooking and plant based eating, and the Slow Food Movement, then this internship may be what you are looking for. Send me a cover letter describing your interest and availability, along with your resumé to; Bhavani@iEatGreen.com

Bon Appétit!

Sean Barrett, Founder of Dock to Dish and the Montauk Seaweed Supply Joins Bhavani on the Progressive Radio Network!

My guest this week is Sean Barrett, who has built a long career creating ocean-centric small businesses and establishing new models for the utilization of marine resources in North and Central America. He is the founder of Dock to Dish™️, an expansive network of small-scale community-based fishery programs, as well as The Montauk Seaweed Supply Company™️. Sean is currently pioneering a “sea to soil” movement to revive an ancient symbiotic relationship between regional gardens and farmlands and our local oceans through the cultivation of macroalgae, such as sugar kelp, which is converted into a variety of fertilizer and livestock feed products. 

He serves as an appointed member on the Marine Resources Advisory Council at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, on the Executive Board at the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York, as advisor to the federal Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council and has been named Person of the Year by the United Restaurant and Tavern Owners Association of New York State. 

I hope you can join us on Thursday at 10am, and learn more about the exciting connection our oceans have on our future health and that of our soil and livestock.
