LittleHouseFarm is very excited to announce that His Holiness the Dalai Lama is following us on Twitter. Okay, LittleHouseFarm is not the only entity he's following, but he's following. Twitter, you will notice has been added to the web site as a widget on the bottom of the left hand navigation bar.

Since I hail from two worlds, formerly working full-time in technology and currently working on food policy issues for New York State, frequently this site is used to test out different kinds of technology that might be applicable to food related issues. After all, the entire site is an experiment as is the idea of sustainable living. Some of these tech tests make it on to the web site and some of it gets shelved. I had been looking for a way of announcing breaking food news for a while and when Twitter appeared on the scene it looked as if it could be employed as a breaking news vehicle.  So for about a year LittleHouseFarm has been publishing abbreviated posts, or tweets, that relate in some way to food, food policy, sustainability or related events in NYC that may not warrant an entire article.

We hope you too, will follow us at twitter.com/littlehousefarm. Oh, and the Dalai Lama is a vegetarian too though he eats meat every other day for health reasons.
