Plants, animals, and people living in Coastal North Carolina are influenced by large, shallow bodies of water, called "Sounds." The Sound's daily influence can be a challenge or a gift. The word "sound" also means "in good condition; not damaged, injured, or diseased." Sound Harvest and Garden will try to reflect both those meanings, as I aim for sound vegetables, herbs, chickens, eggs, and ornamentals, all from my home by Core Sound.

Oh man, shitake mushrooms and local shrimp!
What a day we have for food! We bought the shrimp you see here from very local waters (almost within sight of our porch). That is a quarter on the plate beside those big guys! When doused in salt and olive oil and seared on the grill they are just about the best food on earth. Add to that our first shitake mushrooms from the logs we innoculated in the spring, and I am in foodie heaven.
