Soil envy [VIDEO]

It seems that most farmers these days are also philosophers. David Cleverdon of Illinois-based Kinnikinnick farm is no exception. We had the pleasure of celebrating David's birthday with him and his family and friends on the farm, and then made a dinner in Chicago with Kinnikinnick produce. It was just another day on our Real Food road trip, but add Chef Paul Kahan -- and some controversial Monsanto tomatoes -- into the mix, and you've got yourself an unusual meal.

Daniel Klein is a chef, activist, and filmmaker living in Minneapolis. He's cooked in the restaurants of Thomas Keller, Fergus Henderson, and Tom Colicchio and has directed, filmed, edited and produced projects on various issues including oil politics and the development industry in Africa (What are we doing here? which has aired on TV, in theaters, and at festivals worldwide). Since March, Daniel has been documenting his culinary, agricultural and hunting adventures on film in a series called The Perennial Plate, featuring long winters, urban gardens, ice fishing, slaughterhouses, foraging for wild edibles, and more.
