I REALLY love this idea, as I’m sure do others that grow their own and KNOW how to cook for themselves.

The ONLY problem I see is the one that already exists: when you give fresh fruits and vegetables to Food Pantries, they are usually the last things taken because no one knows how to cook from scratch!

We need someone at the distribution level assisting with that aspect of it.

Maybe a charity like Newman’s Own could fill that gap and process some of the food to be donated into packaged foods of some sort? Not Soylent Green...though that WOULD be an awesome marketing ploy.

OR - maybe it could be sold to that club you and I belong to, or to various CSAs in the area to supplement what they already grow? I’ve seen CSAs that add weekly cutting flowers and baked goods. People that belong to CSAs like to cook and know how to...but then, that’s not getting it into the hands of hungry people who don’t/can’t/won’t cook.

HELP!

I’ve been reading about no till gardening.

What do you know about it and what are the advantages?

How is it done?
