Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila is an All-Pro defensive end for the Green Bay Packers. But the man known as “KGB” is known for more than planting quarterbacks in the ground–Gbaja-Biamila is also an organic gardener.
As a high school student in Los Angeles, Gbaja-Biamila (whose name translates to ‘Big Man Come and Save Me’ in Nigerian), was involved in an effort called “Food From the Hood,” the first ever student-run natural food company that provided South Central Los Angeles with high-quality organic produce. He’s still involved in organic foods as an investor at “Naked Foods” in Howard, Wisconsin.

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
