Hannah Burch started pressing all-organic nut milks last August. Their milks are fresh, unpasteurized, and pretty darn tasty–all without the preservatives store-bought nut milks can contain. Available at the Richland Farmer’s Market every Saturday or online at burchmilk.com.

With our booming urban population, the Urban Cultivator is right at home. About the size of a wine cooler, this “green” cabinet grows herbs, sprouts and other greens hydroponically with the help of grow lights, a little water, and some nutrients–no soil required. For city-dwellers with no patch of land, this might be just the thing. You can find them being installed in many of the condos around town. Check them out at A-1 Appliance in Belle Meade.
