Good Earth Farm Thursday 5/17

Thursday we met at Good Earth Farms, and it was a perfect day for it!  Good Earth is a "food provider" for local food pantries and soup kitchens.  Their main goals are to "to provide healthy food to those who most need it and to provide a place of education and retreat for visitors."  Paul Clever, one of the founders, gave us a tour and talked to us about why the do what they do.  The founders of Good Earth Farms saw a need for fresh fruit and vegetables in food pantries and soup kitchens, so they made it thier mission to provider more of those items to food pantries and educate about local produce.  The farm is funded through grants and donations, and every Saturday the farm is open for volunteers to help with gardening.  I was impressed to learn how much produce they produce in a season.  Overall, Paul was a really nice guy and I liked the purpose of the farm, hopefully in the coming weeks I can make time to volunteer some of my time at Good Earth!
