The McKinley Neighborhood is embracing urban agriculture with the start of a small scale CSA. Utilizing our former community garden space we will begin our inaugural growing season in the summer of 2010.
When you consider the effects of soil depletion, run off from factory farms, the huge consumption of fossil fuels to transport foods across the globe and the hamstringing of independent farmers from saving their own seed, creating a just and sustainable food system can seem overwhelming. We see the answer to these large problems in the simple and the small. We can feed ourselves.
With a great and humbling appreciation for the many people currently working to create a sane food system we invite you to partner with us in any way that makes sense for you as an individual or organization. Some possible ideas for collaboration include:
- Organizing your church, family or work group in a day of volunteer labor
- Buying a share of the harvest
- Cosponsoring a class or workshop
- Listing our organization on your website’s resource page
- Keeping us up to date on the work you are doing
- Making a donation of gardening equipment, seed, manure or compost
- Forwarding this email
- Signing up to our email list, find out about classes and other programming
- Your kind thoughts and goodwill toward our efforts
