The fall is perhaps the one time of year we get ourselves out to a farm. Autumn is prime time for farms, what with all the apple-picking, pumpkin patch, and corn maze fun to be had. Did you go and vis...
In order to help urban dwellers grow food inside their apartment all year long, Britta Riley and Rebecca Bray developed Window Farms — vertical, hydroponic, modular, low-energy, high-yield edi...
When ideas gain speed in the marketplace, marketers take note. So when the natural food movement became popular, we all noticed more "All Natural" stickers popping up on our grocer's shelves. Likewise...
On Saturday mornings, nestled into the foothills of the Mojave desert, the Joshua Tree farmers' market welcomes everyone from free-spirited locals to military base families, park rangers, and touris...
Meet Fernando, who will live his entire life on a farm in rural Texas. It's encouraging to see so many people vocally concerned with their food choices. People are turning toward local foods and org...
When we're in the kitchen, we're already so pleased with ourselves for not eating out and for using the produce from our CSA that we don't think much about how much energy we're using. But there are w...
This month has been all about COLOR in the kitchen, in food, and in harvest. Well, to cap it off, we have to show you these jolly little platters, made from refinished old candlesticks!...
Our kitchen has been "Cured" a couple of times—both with Apartment Therapy and on solo missions. We've pared things down to the true essentials, and that means we have one bamboo cutting board that ...
Milk, peanut butter, oil, tomatoes, beans – when do they go bad and what can we do with them before they expire? How should they be stored? Can they be frozen or microwaved? Not knowing the answer...
Growing up, our mother tried desperately to teach us how to cook. Back then, even scrambled eggs were a challenge. Now that we're all grown up, we're finally catching on. (Mom's so proud.) Recently...
If you live in San Francisco, where throwing out your food scraps is now illegal, you're probably looking for more ways to use every last bit of your produce, etc....
We know that large-scale farming as it exists today presents all sorts of problems, ranging from the mass-producing scale to soil and resource depletion. Which is why Wes Jackson's work at the Land In...
Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap. These are familiar instructions to home bakers, and I even include them in my own recipes here on The Kitchn. Though I don't use plastic wrap for many purposes othe...
We've always gone for the bigger, more impressive pumpkins at the Hollywood farmers' market, but this year we're utterly charmed by all the minis on sale throughout the market. Perhaps it's because ...
According to Reynolds, this product debuted back in April or May, but we haven't noticed it in our local grocery stores. It's foil made from 100 percent recycled aluminum. We already recycle our alumi...
Kombucha. Typically, when people talk about Kombucha, they fall into 1 of 3 categories: Love it! Hate it! Or, my favorite... what the heck is it?! Kombucha is a sweetened tea that's been fermen...
We have been surprised at just how Food, Inc. has affected not just us, but folks around us. There's another film on the horizon, and Food Beware takes a different approach, giving viewers a success s...
Q: I am wondering what other people do for reusable drink containers in the refrigerator. In the past I've tried (seemingly) dozens of plastic jugs and dispensers, all of which develop leaks or off sm...
The magazine publishing market is so rocky these days that we consider the launch of any new title an act of bravery. It is fitting, then, that one of the latest additions to newsstands promotes the...
We are huge fans of locally grown food, but as Cambria pointed out earlier in the week, sometimes the surplus of one type of seasonal produce can be overwhelming. Here are our favorite ways to use up ...
We love our CSA. This is the 2nd year we've done the CSA in our Brooklyn neighborhood, and it's been great. But over the last few weeks, it got a little out of control. I think we were busy, and m...
We often get questions about cooking in small spaces. While recommending another appliance might not seem like the logical answer, a counter-top oven is actually a great solution for energy-conscious,...
In celebration of Apartment Therapy's color contest, we thought we'd highlight some the most spectacular hues seen at the Hollywood farmers' market this past weekend... ...
We are huge fans of making butter at home. Making your own butter is so fast and so easy that we often make small batches of table butter for maximum freshness and taste. But we've also been making ex...
