THE story starts with artichokes: On Earth Day in 1990, Judith Chase took a load of them down from her organic vegetable patch on a hilltop, where the earth is good and the air is pure, to sell to a fashionably eccentric garden restaurant in Katmandu, Nepal, named Mike's Breakfast. Fresh artichokes were a novelty in Nepal, and they were a hit. Appropriate Agricultural Alternatives and Ms. Chase, who moved here from Waterbury, Conn., in 1977, were in business.
