    Great read, thanks. I believe an important action all gardeners should consider is donating some of the bounty to food pantries to help feed the hungry in their local community. Most food pantries have trouble obtaining fresh produce to distribute. It is truly appreciated and especially important in these economic times when demand is up. Also most pantries see a drop off in donations during summer months so donating fresh vegetables and fruit during growing season really helps them to help others.

    Plant A Row for the Hungry are in many local communities and can help gardeners to learn more about donating their produce to feed the hungry.

  • I don’t agree with Dan’s
    14 years 14 weeks ago by: esdee in reply to: Fresh and Tasty at the St. Paul Farmers Market This Week

    I don’t agree with Dan’s assessment of why (or even if) the SPFM is “dying”. However, I think he raises a good point: why is it so much of the clientele is white? I know Minnesota is not a very ethnically-diverse state, but some of the best food available locally is present at the Market — especially ingredients used in Asian and African cooking. It’s (in my opinion) an economical source of many kinds of locally-grown, non-factory-farmed food. It’s even a good place to bring kids (earlier in the morning) to show them a wider variety of fruits and vegetables and plants and how they actually grow (Brussels sprouts come on stalks?!?). So is there something the SPFM should be doing do help make sure people are aware of what’s really going on there?

    1. P.S. Meeting you was definitely a high point in my evening. You light up the room with your enthusiasm, good will, and big smile.
