As you shop at a farmers' market this week you may meet up with an old acquaintance or make a new friend, try something new...or, taking a walk in your neighborhood you may also discover a community garden - a place of many uses and seasons: besides fruits and vegetables, gardens grow relationships, creativity, and communication. They offer a place to enjoy the beauty and solace of nature even in the midst of an urban setting.
The market, the garden, the kitchen, the hearth, the dinner table, all build around la olla com ú n (common pot) where food creates connections. Where smells, sounds, sights, and some of the best ideas are generated in a hundred daily ways. Food - getting it, growing it, selling it, buying it, cooking it, eating it, making sure everyone has enough of it , just has its ways of bringing people together. And where people come together there is community. Where there is community, individual ideas, dreams and strength connect and can be made even greater. *ALL FROM http://www.foodconnect.org/ |
