A photo of the oyster trade in Washington from the Heritage Section.<\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\nLast week Tom Hughes, the co-founder of The FOOD Museum,\u00a0stopped by the farm to see what he would find. Tom and his wife Meredith Sayles created the online project to collect, preserve, exhibit and\u00a0explain the history and social significance of the world's most important\u00a0foods, and bring artifacts and programs to audiences of all ages.\r\n\r\nVisitors of the online museum can explore food heritage and history\u00a0from Jewish cuisine in New York City to the oyster trade in early 1900\u2019s through videos, photographs, and text.\r\n\r\nIf you are looking for a good book related to food, you can browse their\u00a0book section which has reviews and descriptions of several books that\u00a0explore food, culture and memory. Further reading may be found through\u00a0their blog section.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the FOOD Museum, Tom and Meredith have worked on\u00a0exhibitions for the Smithsonian\u2019s National Museum of Natural History\u00a0called \"Seeds of Change\u201d among other exhibitions focused on potatoes for\u00a0the U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington D.C. and the National Museum\u00a0of Science and Technology in Ottawa, Ontario.\r\n\r\nOn his surprise visit, Tom received the grand tour from Farmer Al. They\u00a0visited the compost, the bee gardens, toured the packing shed and kitchen, and of course, the orchard and vegetable gardens. They spent about\u00a0four hours together talking agriculture, food, and history.\r\n\r\nWe hope you\u2019ll check out Tom and Meredith's work and browse around\u00a0the FOOD Museum at www.foodmuseum.com.<\/a> Who knows, you might\u00a0even see something about our farm on there one day soon!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
