Pizza Hippo Opens Season at Putney School Earth Day Celebration

Hello hello!

What a gorgeous week we've been having here in southern Vermont!

It's also only five days until Pizza Hippo opens the season at the Putney School's Earth Day celebration. The weather is supposed to be less than stellar on Sunday, mirroring last year's auspicious start. Hopefully we'll have more cloud and less rain!

Pizza Hippo Goes to Brattleboro Farmer's Market Jury Day

Today is the Brattleboro Farmer's Market Jury Day.

"What is this?" you ask. It's the day where everyone who wants to take part in the market shows up with product to be judged by a very, how do I say, tightly... knit group of folks who run the show.

Pizza Hippo, Organic Vermont Crowd Sourcing, and Long Distance Bike Riding for Hippopotamus

Fire Grilled Pizza in Southern Vermont

Southern Vermont has an amazing food culture for lack of a better descriptor. Everyone gardens, farms, raises animals, brews cider, kambucha, pickles, cures, and generally eat like kings.

When I moved here a few years ago, I got involved with making sourdough breads. What could possibly be better than fresh sourdough bread, piping hot from the oven, butter melting and steaming on the crusty crust right before "chomp" and "ahhhh"?

One day last summer, we had a cold night and…
