Spring has sprung! Let's grow!

It is a busy week for us all, working behind the scenes for LFF!

Today, we spent our time in McIntosh, MN learning about how to connect with food service people to get farm fresh foods into the cafeterias of schools, nursing homes, and hospitals! Ok, so the exclamation point makes it sound exciting, but it really was an amazing learning opportunity. Did you know that you could purchase a share of garden produce and DONATE it to your favorite "lunch lady" to serve to her people?!?!? I had no idea it was legal, much less approved and even ENCOURAGED! The University of Minnesota put this whole workshop on for local producers today, to talk about the whole thing. Apparently, it is the new movement in the whole foods "realm" (what? I didn't tell you that there is a whole 'nother world in here?! You have just barely gotten started ;0) )

Just a reminder, we have 2 membership meetings this week. Bring yourself, bring a friend or two!

We hope to see you there!

Crookston. Wednesday the 24th, from 6-8pm, at Happy Joe's in the back room.


Thief River Falls. Thursday the 25th, from 4-8pm, at the Northwest Regional Library.
