Our editorial team

Mario Capozzoli: Mario is the editor of greatgrandmother.org and owner of King's Grant Farm, first settled in Sunapee in 1769. A classically-trained chef, here and abroad, Mario began working in his parents' Italian restaurants at age six and has since been on the culinary staff at other restaurants, traveled many of the world's great wine regions, cultivated his own high bush blueberries, consulted on community projects, and planted his own crops.

His passions are cooking with locally-sourced organic foods, connecting with neighbors througout New England, writing, and spreading the word to kids and their parents about the value of a sustainable, fair, and just food system.

Mario's goal is to make a positive difference in his small part of the world.

Please send emails to: editor@greatgrandmother.org

We like to hear from you! If you have any suggestions, ideas, seasonal recipes, or other potential contributions, please send them along.

Already after a couple months of being an active site, we have received thousands of hits, click throughs, and visits, and many emails from all over the United States. We cannot promise to reply to every email, but we do promise to read each of them and consider their content.

So far, we concentrate on five core values plus seasonal gardening with no commerical ad support. We've been contacted by a couple of businesses interested in purchasing ad space, but thus far have decided not to accept it in an interest to keep the site clean and un-cluttered.

Thank you for your interest and support, from San Diego to Seattle, and from New Britain to Cape Cod.
