I’m giving the opening keynote at the Maine Grain Alliance’s 2025 Kneading Conference, which culimiantes in the Maine Artisan Bread Fair on July 26. My talk is at 8:30 a.m. at the Strand Cinema in Skowhegan, Maine. I’m really looking forward to this one.

Some good news for school meals
TODAY: San Francisco, Omnivore Books on Food, 3885 Cesar Chavez at Church. Information is here.

I was happy to see this press release from the USDA: Biden-Harris Administration Invests $80 Million to Improve Nutrition in School.
School districts can use the funds to purchase upgraded equipment that will support:
- Serving healthier meals, including those sourced from local foods;
- Implementing scratch cooking;
- Establishing or expanding school breakfast;
- Storing fresh food;
- Improving food safety.
This adds to what this administration is already doing for school meals. It’s an impressive list.
What’s next? Universal school meals, please.
