Brussel Sprouts mark the end of our CSA season

Sunday, October 26th, 2008 | Food Activism, Minnesota, Organizations | No Comments

October 26 is our last Community Supported Agricultural Delivery from the Women’s Environmental Institute in North Branch, MN.

For the past 19 weeks we have been shareholder in WEI with our dividend being picked up in a bushel box of produce at our local grocer every Sunday. All in all this has been a wonderful experience. Fresh sustainably farmed fruits and veggies from our neighbors has provided us with a steady supply of sustenance. Knowing that this food has been grown without the use of Johnny-come-lately chemical agriculture has helped to put our mind at ease about our food supply. And, last but not least, without our neighbors help we would never have known what brussel sprouts looked like while still on the stalk. Thanks WEI

Sustainable Fashion? You Bet!

Our friends over at MNfashion are working for a sustainable local business environment for fashion designers and retailers. But don’t take my word for it:

“MNfashion is dedicated to providing resources and professional development allowing designers to establish a sustainable livelihood in Minnesota. In doing this, we foster community and encourage industry growth.”

It’s not food, but with goals like that count us in! Let’s support our neighbors and help bring livable earnings to some of our most creative citizens. All through this weekend you can attend local fashion events around Minneapolis for MNfashions Fashion Weekend. Check out their site to find out when and where.
