" When the term &amp;quot;Farm to Table&amp;quot; is mentioned, many Americans immediately think of Alice Waters. With her restaurant Chez Panisse in Berkeley, Calif., she became a pioneer for organic and sustainable farming, and for the use of local, seasonal ingredients.

This vibrant seed coat doesn&amp;#039;t seem to want to let go.  &amp;quot;I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.&amp;quot; \u2013 Henry David Thoreau Check back soon to meet more of our Dream Team!
