I'll start close to home, where the Boise Saturday Market fired its founder and executive director, Karen Ellis. Depending on who you believe, she was either ran out for sloppy business practices or the victim of internal politicking; maybe both. The Market certainly seems eager to soldier on without her--their website has already updated their pages to reflect her removal--but I am curious to see what will happen next. The market has grown quite a bit under Ellis' leadership, and although it has become so crowded that I tend to skip it in preference of smaller produce stands, I believe her vision has helped Boise keep pace with the national trends regarding local and sustainable eating.

One of the things I wondered as I started this new feature last week is if I would find enough links to have something to talk about. It is quickly apparent that it should have been no worry at all. It has been yet another busy week in the world of food.
