The Lunchbox Interview: Kim Lawrence of Real Food Connections

LunchBox-RealFoodConnectionsWhere does your food come from? Can you honestly say that you could even find out?

There’s a huge interest — and action! — in eating local. That means you not only have some transparency in where your food comes from, but you can be assured that it comes from a farmer or producer not that far from you.

Combine that with more conscientiously-produced food, lower reliance on pesticides and chemicals, and suddenly, the food tastes better!

My guest today is Kim Lawrence, one of the co-owners of Real Food Connections. This family-run business is quickly bridging the gap between local food producers and local food consumers, stimulating interest and awareness (as well as a lot of good eatin’!) in making a diet of good food produced in your backyard. We talk about where Real Food Connections comes from, what it has grown into and plans for the future!

Music today:

  • Double Experience are coming to town this week, so I pulled out Congratulations on Second Place from 721835.
  • As a consolation prize, you have me! From Ken Tizzard‘s latest album, No Dark No Light, we hear I Got You.
  • And trying to make a connection to the new kitchen, I played Chop On Through by Jon McKiel, from his self-titled album..
