Voices from the Root Cafe.

From the Root Cafe

You may recall a recent article for the Arkansas Times about the Root Cafe and their sustainable business model.

I also had the opportunity to visit with Root owners Jack and Corri Bristow Sundell about their inspiration for the cafe and just a few of the life events that led up to fulfilling this dream.

You can hear Jack and Corri tell more about their story via this radio piece which aired this past Monday on the Ozarks at Large program on KUAF 91.3 FM, Public Radio out of Fayetteville, Arkansas.

What is the Boiled Down Juice?

This blog is a gathering space for questions and conversations at the intersection of sustaining community traditions and positive change and grassroots community action. Thrown into the mix you'll find posts about music, food, and all the other ways humans express the art of daily life.

"Folklore," Zora Neale Hurston once said, "is the boiled down juice of human living." We strive to explore that concept (both the positive and negative aspects) and the roles it can play in sustaining and building community.
