...investigating consumer concerns, and an employee plans to visit the region to study the issue. Environmentalists say mulch made from pine straw or pine bark can be an effective alternative. "Cutting down cypress forests to make mulch is like melting down the Liberty Bell to make paper clips," says Dan Favre, campaign organizer for the Gulf Restoration Network.

Much of both restaurants' food (including all the chicken and pork) is raised on about 20 acres next to the Pocantico Hills location. In the 31/2 years since the farm was launched, Barber has become one of the nation's most eloquent pro-local spokesmen, not least because...
