| Dear Friends,
July has been a month of changes here at FRESH!
Our Summer Youth Program started on July 14; we have TWENTY-TWO young people working with us through August and had an extra six join us for the first week! This is the largest group we've had (we usually cap the program at about 15), and they're absolutely wonderful. I'm excited to watch them grow even further into their power through the season as they learn about food justice, agriculture, and community.
That week was also Julie's last working with us here at FRESH. We miss her terribly and are so excited and happy for her as she embarks on her graduate school journey!
All that happened in the midst of our busiest time here! The Dream Market is running along smoothly, with vendors, performers, and more enjoying the opportunity to come together and share their talents. Yesterday was Peruvian Independence Day, and we'll be celebrating it this Saturday at the Market, with Peruvian food sampling, Zumba dancing, a display of Peruvian goods and crafts, and even a goat!
Our CSA is in full swing, providing a share of vegetables each week to 10 full-price and 20 sliding-scale members. We love seeing our community each week as they either pick up their food at our table at the market or receive it at their homes!
And remember that every week at the market, we have a Pay-What-You-Can table full of fresh-picked herbs and vegetables. It's a great way to add some extra goodness to your diet, and gives us a chance to catch up with you! Come out and say hello!
