June 22nd marked the first day Team One employees began participating in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). What’s CSA you say? It’s the relationship between a local farm and those that eat the food produced. Most consumers not only are unaware of where their food comes from, but who is growing it and how it is produced. A CSA seeks to end our disconnection from the farmer and the land that sustains us. Joining a CSA helps to continue the ancient practices of land stewardship, while at the same time supporting local farmers.
Every Wednesday, the South Central Farmer’s Cooperative rolls up to our loading dock and delivers local produce boxes for 20 employees. We rush down to the mailroom to see what’s inside our boxes (always a surprise), and many of us have been cooking and sharing both food and recipes throughout the week. Not only are we supporting a local farming initiative, we’re supporting each other and growing our own community of sharing and fun around a sustainable practice.
One late night/early morning in the run up to the launch of the new True Blue site, some of our team decided that cake was needed. This is their story.
