The highlights: Picking blueberries with a Kentucky farmer for a few hours and chatting about life…Eating tomato sandwiches in his kitchen… Watching the crowds swarm around his tomatoes at the Berea farmer’s market… Seeing hundreds of windmills spinning on the Kansas planes… Seeing the Kansas planes, especially during sunset… Eating Beer-Can Chicken in Denver… Strolling through the farmer’s markets there… Seeing the vineyards in the Colorado Rockies transition to the snow white salt flats of Utah… Driving the stretch of land through Nevada that is so long and so vast that it induces a mild feeling of panic that there just might not be an “end of the tunnel”… Sitting high atop a mountain in Santa Cruz, looking through a glass wall into the mountains, and writing. You can read about the wonderful man from Kentucky in my book “Food Heroes.”
