Hi everybody,
Thanks for taking a second to check out my project. My name is Claire and I am a recent DC transplant from Portland OR (originally from San Diego CA). I have moved here in hopes of shifting the way our nation produces, distributes, and consumes food. I believe that by changing these processes we can solve some of the greatest problems facing our country...everything from social justice issues, to environmental degradation, to health problems trace back to food. In my effort to find work in food policy and programs I got involved with Common Good City Farm.
Common Good City Farm is a wonderful organization that feeds, educates, and builds community in a lower income neighborhood quite close to where I am staying. Every Tuesday I run the youth cooking program that brings kids of all ages (4 to 17) to the farm to prepare a healthful meal using vegetables we harvested ourselves. In addition to the meal, the kids get sent home with a bag of veggies and a simple recipe. I am often working with youth who have never seen spinach that doesn't come from a can or green beans that aren't cooked into mush. Our program not only feeds these kids, but helps them develop a taste for healthful, fulfilling food. In addition, the farm is a safe place that engages the children in positive behavior and skill building.
I have seen our program nourish bodies, minds, and souls. I cannot praise Common Good City Farm enough, which is why I am participating in the DC4DC servathon.
