| Feed the People Who Feed Us with Green Thumb Organics (VIDEO) |
More than ever before, 2020 has brought home what is essential. Making sure our neighbors don’t go hungry is essential. Feeding the people who feed us is essential. Protecting organic farms is essential. And you are essential. When you donate to CUESA, you are uplifting our essential community needs and getting fresh, organic food to people in need.
This month, we’re focusing on local food heroes who are essential to building the sustainable and equitable food future we all need. In this new video from CUESA, get up close with farmer Rudy Jimenez of Green Thumb Organics, four bountiful organic acres in San Juan Bautista. Rudy is one of our partner farmers in CUESA's Feed Hospitality program, which provides free produce boxes to unemployed restaurant and bar workers during the pandemic, while supporting local farms. |
