We are trying to create a central Food Hub downtown Durham to be able to offer much more variety, like eggs, breads, flowers, cheeses and meats while this continues, and grocery stores continue to be a scary place to visit. This is also a great time to plant yourselves a garden. The seed companies are selling out of stock left and right. We are planting twice the amount of what we intended to for the coming spring and summer, and I know we aren't alone. This week we were able to go from 35 to 108 shares, and we hope to be able to offer more very soon. What we are doing to try to meet the newly insane demand for food: Over the last few weeks we have teamed up with Reds Quality Acres, Southwind Produce, and Four Leaf Farm to bring together as much food as we possibly can and distribute through the community in the form of $25 shares ($30 with delivery). We are not by any stretch computer literate and we are totally making this up as we go. That is more in a two week span than our entire last year, and we have lost track of several responses. In the last two weeks we have spent more than 4 hours a day on answering emails. Secondly, we would like to say an equally big We Are Sorry! for losing track of any email threads of various sorts. We are still quite happy to send them to anyone who needs them but can't pay at this time, just send us addresses.įirst we would like to say a big Thank you! for the overwhelming response and desire for our food offerings. It feels pretty weird selling anything at this time, of upheaval, and sadness, anger, and righteous rebellion.But vegetation doesn't care about current events and our CSA shares are still going up at 7 am tomorrow(Friday), we have more to offer now that we have lots of food coming in, so if you've been missing out try again. Food is what links us to so many of our friends and it feels good to be able to have and to offer others something consistent right about now. especially in a country without access to healthcare for all people. We believe it directly links to good health, which we need in a pandemic. ![]() We are very much pro good food, and that is what we do to be active in our community. That used to be quite a solid American value, especially around say 1945, it's a shame how good things fall out of fashion. Weird that this is even a discussion in modern America, but we are also still definitely against facisim, which makes us by definition anti facsist. ![]() Its actually time to stop having the state murder people. Enough with the tired charges of looting as a way to not discuss the real issue, while people's lives are being taken. They matter way more than windows or feelings, or the polite status quo. And because now is a great time to listen to the folks affected who have been saying these things for months, years or decades. Well, if you can believe it, I don't have a lot to say, because I feel like so much has been said, and because maybe another white guy talking about the terrible state of race relations, and racist policing in this country isn't always helpful. Just normal everyday, nothing out of the ordinary.
