🌱 Nourish Suffolk County Initiative Announced 🌱 Today, Suffolk County Executive Edward Romaine unveiled Nourish Suffolk County, a $250,000 initiative that partners with Island Harvest Food Bank to tackle food insecurity across Suffolk County. This program will: ✔️ Provide locally grown, fresh produce to families in need. ✔️ Support Suffolk County farmers by purchasing produce directly from local farms. ✔️ Help deliver nearly 500,000 healthy meals to residents during three growing seasons. Food insecurity is on the rise, with over 221,000 Long Islanders facing hunger in 2022, including nearly 45,000 children. By incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables into meals, this initiative is also a step towards better nutrition and long-term health for those we serve. We are proud to partner with Suffolk County and local farms like Amber Waves, Briermere Farms, and Deer Run Farms to make this program a reality. Together, we can nourish our neighbors and support the heart of our agricultural community. Learn more about this impactful initiative at https://loom.ly/Q2dtg60.

🌟 **Connecting People: From Data to Dirt** 🌱 By day, I’m all about connecting people with data, creating solutions that drive efficiency and innovation. But when the sun sets, my true passion takes root in connecting people with something even more fundamental: high-quality, sustainably-grown food. At **Benny Boy Farm**, we believe in the power of regenerative farming practices to not only nourish our communities but also heal the land we depend on. Every chicken we raise, every harvest we gather, is done with the intention of creating a healthier, more resilient food system. If you’re passionate about where your food comes from and how it’s grown, I invite you to join our journey.

🌽 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 #𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸! Did you know that there are over 8,000 farmers markets in the US alone? As beloved #ThirdPlaces and #PublicSpaces, farmers markets strengthen resilience in communities. They are often the safe, accessible, attractive, and inclusive places where we gather, interact with others, and celebrate what connects us all—history, culture, and people.

We have built a strong clientele base at the Elle Pea Acres Farm Stand over the past month and a half since opening. Our customers consistently praise our ability to offer farm-fresh produce at prices that beat grocery stores, providing them with both cost savings and a wide variety of choices for their families. Additionally, we supply a FREE bin of fruits and veggies that may not look perfect but are still perfectly good to eat. This initiative is a testament to our commitment to the community and our goal to make a positive impact without focusing solely on profits. At our Farm Stand, we prioritize building community and offering a valuable service focused on providing healthy and affordable food options. Our journey exemplifies the importance of supporting small farms and highlights why they are a crucial part of the solution when combatting the problem of price gauging and unhinged corporate profits in the grocery supply chain. Buy local. Support small farms. We are working towards solving problems and not creating more stress on hard working families. #farmstand #SupportSmallFarmers #BeTheChange #VeteranFarmers #flowerfarmstand #flowerfarmers #buylocal #veteranownedbusiness #veteransmallbusiness #farmstartup #farmenterprise #agritourism

This KiwiHomeHarvest project was started two years ago on the back of some of Wao's excellent research into our local food resilience: - 100 years ago Queenstown Lakes was 95% self-sufficient and now we are just 5%. - In case of the likely major emergency coming, there is less than a weeks worth of food available. - Food security and resilience will likely get worse due to global supply chain breakdown with climate change and geopolitics etc. There is a huge amount of work to be done and it is great to be part of The Southern Lakes Kai Collective being established by Wao and work beginning. I designed this specific program to offset the three main reasons people surveyed here said they did not grow food at home: 1. They are in rented accommodation and didn't want to start and then have to leave it. 2. They are time poor with work and family commitments so worry about watering and maintaining plants. 3. They have never grown food and don't know where to start and it can be expensive to get set up. As a result and plenty of innovation with a wide mix of amazing community partners, using almost all upcycled materials, the package available now includes: - Frame and separate plant drums that can easily be disassembled and moved in the back of most cars so works for anyone in rental accommodation. - Self-watering reservoir system built in plant drums so less maintenance needed. - Built in storage to maximise space - Netting - Compost - Green veggie seedlings so you are ready to grow from day one - Maintenance advice from local gardener on the day of assembly and awesome recipes from local chefs - Free delivery - Available for just a $35 donation Please share with anyone keen and have them register before the cut off next Thursday.

🌍 Celebrating World Food Day: The Unsung Heroes of Food Security On this World Food Day, let’s shine a light on the vital role of donkeys in our food systems, especially in communal areas. 🌱 Donkeys navigate difficult terrains, ensuring farmers can get their produce to market, fostering economic resilience. 🌱They assist in plowing and carrying water, enhancing agricultural productivity and enabling better crop yields. 🌱 Beyond their practical contributions, donkeys symbolize hard work and resilience in many cultures, reminding us of the interconnectedness of our food systems. As we celebrate the role of agriculture in feeding the world, let’s recognize the invaluable contributions of donkeys in ensuring food security for many communities. Together, we can advocate for their welfare and sustainability. #WorldFoodDay #FoodSecurity #SustainableAgriculture #Community #Donkeys

Prioritizing small and historically marginalized producers is a value Farmer Foodshare has in common with many other organizations. Thanks to the growing efforts of local groups, support for NC farmers is present throughout the Triangle. The Black Farmers' Market The Black Farmers’ Market is led by a vision to foster intentional spending within black communities, build and expand self-sustaining black marketplaces, and help solve black social and economic issues. The Black Farmers’ Market hosts weekly events alternating between Durham and Raleigh, which increase awareness, facilitate wholesale opportunities, and help fund new projects for Black entrepreneurs in the area. The market has generated incredible support for independent, Black-owned businesses while providing access to healthy food in areas lacking access. Farmer Foodshare has been fortunate to work alongside the Black Farmers’ Market on several projects. We serve as the fiscal agent for the Double Bucks program which matches benefits like SNAP at farmers markets, double the purchasing power of families experiencing food insecurity. The program supports growers and attendees alike, making farmers markets more accessible to a wider community base. The Black Farmers’ Market is one of 5 area farmers markets participating in the Double Bucks program. Last year, the program generated $150,000 for farm businesses, supporting 150 local farmers and totaling 90,000 lbs. of food to fight hunger. The Black Farmers Market and Farmer Foodshare also collaborate on a mini grant program which supports local farmers looking to grow their operations, reach, and programming. Three local farmers received funding last year for projects that will help them better serve their communities. BFM's next market is this weekend!
