"A Place at the Table"

Over the weekend, I had the chance to watch a great documentary from the makers of "Food, Inc."  It is called "A Place at the Table."  It tackles the concept of food insecurity in America in a very eye-opening and heartfelt way.  It helps bring to light the concept of being obese and malnourished at the same time and also the troubling issue of food deserts.  It also does an excellent job of highlighting the major flaws with the Farm Bill and the role of food stamps and healthy school lunches in this country...very timely as we have still not passed the Farm Bill. 

It made me feel very grateful and proud to be a part of a farm that donates fresh, nutritious produce to our local food banks; a commodity that is rarely part of food pantry distributions.  We also made the decision in starting up this farm to sell food to our local Sharon school system to get more fresh produce into the diets of our children - I am happy to report that we will start selling veggies to the schools next week now that they are back in session.  So thank you for joining a CSA that is trying to make a small difference in the lives of others and in our nation's food system!

This week you will enjoy a choice of herbs, lettuce mix, arugula, bok choi, kale, chard, hot peppers, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, tomatillos.  There are still lots of cherry tomatoes, beans and ground cherries to pick in the fields.
