Haiku for dinner? Whole Foods ‘Dark Rye’ magazine videos

Posted on November 13, 2012 by admin

Ok, maybe I’m slow but I’ve just discovered Whole Foods video / web magazine Dark Rye. It looks like it was started in July 2012, and the stated editorial intent is to “Meet the dreamers, doers, and makers. Dark Rye tells the stories of people changing the world they live in, and hopefully inspiring you to change the world you live in.”

There are 21 videos on this Vimeo channel as I write. The first one I’ve included here of forager and ‘Improv Haiku Master’ Kirk Rowland sets a tone that doesn’t dissapoint across the selections. There are short clips of the Whole Foods Market sending itself up (Looking for love at Whole Foods? Remember Pesticides end in Divorce). More please.

Episode 1, Off the Grid – The Curious Adventures of Kirk Lombard from Dark Rye on Vimeo.

Yeah, it’s time to leave our lovely country house and we’re cleaning up ready to put it on the market. So we’re a bit distracted for online posts for a while. Part of the process is we have to CLEAN THE SHED. And that involves throwing out all the old things that I’ve held to…
Would sir like to try the pin nott?
India is set to see a second consecutive year of record grape exports, with its crop in particular demand in Russia and throughout Europe, the Economic Times reports. This is a source of some concern for Indian exporters, as record shipments in 2012 resulted in a severe oversupply in Europe, with prices dropping by 50…
Justin talks!
Yeah, quite a lot! Stopping the flow of bubbling ideas and excitement is impossible when you meet him. But this time he’s talking very seriously in a short video that’s promoting Adelaide and the nearby regions as an ‘alternative’ tourism destination for South Australian Tourism Commission. Have a look. Now if it all sounds a…
