Quick Notes
Ok, when I started this I wanted to write something everyday. Well, I didn't on Wed., so wanted to make sure I did today with some quick notes.
You will see tabs at the top. As time goes on I will fill these in:
Resources - Books, Magazines, Websites, Markets, Stores etc.....
Also, on a quick note. My wife and I spoke to the nice lady that is in charge of the Community Gardens at Shelby Farms Park Conservancy. We are going to look at the plots this weekend and if we like the set-up we can sign up next week. More to come on that.

Why Big Love Farm?
Why the farm?
I grew up on several different farms in Arkansas. While we had a garden, my uncle had chickens, we kept goats and a few head of beef cattle, it was very much a monoculture. We grew cash crops: rice, soybeans, milo and wheat. The Truck Patch and the animals made up less than .1% of the operations.
For the last 20 years I have worked in restaurants and hotels. Everything from a Burger King to the Venetian Resort. My wife and I both love food, we seem to get deeper and deeper into it everyday. This just seems to be the next natural step. A farm of permaculture, diversity of crops and animals and value added products.
Why the name?
The name was inspired from my wife who has a blog called Angie's Big Love of Food... I have Big Love for my wife and for food.
