Thank you for reading, and have a great week!

Thankful Thursdays
Have you joined us in thanking farmers for providing the nutrient-dense food we all love? We want to hear from you about why you are thankful for your farmers, why you are thankful for the opportunity to grow your own food or food for your community, or simply what having access to farm-fresh food means to you. Please send your feedback to kat@farmtoconsumer.org
Take your appreciation further and DONATE! We have set up a new system for making donations in a snap! Please consider setting up a recurring donation or making a one-time donation on the launch of Thankful Thursdays. Your contributions will have a real impact for our real food community—just a $10 monthly recurring donation would make a significant difference for our members. Show your support as a friend of the farm, and tell our farming community how important they are.
