As the autumnal air starts to stir and the leaves drift down from the trees, thoughts of summer’s surplus begin to mingle in minds and conversations. In Texas, fall signals the beginning of less than 100-degree days and the promise of an abundant harvest.
In this issue, Sharon Hudgins writes about a North Texas brewmeister with German roots, who not only brews distinctly flavored beer, but does so in an environmentally friendly and German manner. Pair this with Kim Pierce’s delving interview with the folks at Kuby’s Sausage House and Wild Game Processing Plant, and you have Oktoberfest in the making.
You’ll meet two of our local grass-fed beef ranchers as they take you on a journey from pasture to product. Nancy Reed Krabill did her homework and shares with us not only
their stories, but also the facts of why grass-fed products are better for you and becoming more popular.

Old Friends
Winter companions The old men Lost in their overcoats Waiting for the sunset. The sounds of the city, Sifting through trees, Settle like dust On the shoulders Of the old friends.
