Clean Start

Hi from Tuthill Farm. First off I want to say thanks to all of you who have put up with the temporary inconvenience as of late. To the rest of you we have been working hard to refocus and we’ve kind of lost contact. Sorry about that. The good news is we have made good progress and very soon Tuthill Farm products will be once again be readily available. In fact even more convenient. Before I tell you the particulars I thought it might be good to get everyone up to speed on what has been going on and why.

The first thing you’ll notice is we’ve changed our name and our logo to reflect the the most significant change we’ve made–our product selection. We have decided to focus solely on local, clean, heritage pork. It was a hard decision and I know there are many disappointed customers. Our decision was based on one main factor–local. We are fully committed to all aspects of local and felt that pork was how we could best accomplish our objectives. I’ll talk more about local later on. I’ll also let you know how you can still buy White Park heritage beef.

The second major major change is how and where to buy Tuthill Farm Pork. We are very happy to announce that beginning in May you will be able to purchase our pork in two Quincy County Market stores. Our pork will be in the meat case and will be clearly branded as Tuthill Farm. Please support County Market as they support local.

The final and probably most visible change is our website. I’m in the process of building a new site that will be more of resource and forum for all things local. You will notice some areas are still under construction so I apologize for that in advance. The site, even when finished, will continue to change and we hope the change will reflect your input and interests.

I’m waiting to hear your feedback or questions about our pork or buying local.

TARRYTOWN, N.Y.

COOKING, like farming, for all its down-home community spirit, is essentially a solitary craft. But lately it’s feeling more like a lonely burden. Finding guilt-free food for our menus — food that’s clean, green and humane — is about as easy as securing a housing loan. And we’re suddenly paying more — 75 percent more in the last six years — to stock our pantries. Around the world, from Cairo to Port-au-Prince, increases in food prices have governments facing riots born of shortages and hunger. It’s enough to make you want to toss in the toque.

The Tri-State Local Food Policy Council hopes to encourage producers to use its logo beginning this spring to promote whole foods grown within the council's 35 counties in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri, or processed foods with 80 percent of their ingredients from the counties.

"If you look at what's happening with fuel costs, public sentiment about food safety and point of origins, now is a great opportunity for us to join together and really put forth a message that we do have products that fit what the consumer's looking for," council member Jonathan Tuttle said.

Did you Know?

In the U.S., the average grocery store’s produce travels nearly 1,500 miles between the farm where it was grown and your refrigerator.

You Gotta Try This

There are two schools of training when it comes to pulled pork although they probably both require sweet tea.
