Hey friends,
I know I’ve been a bit quiet lately, and I wanted to take a moment to share what’s been going on. After welcoming little Dorothy, I realized I really needed to carve out some time for myself to reflect and just be. This past season has been all about surrender for me juggling the beautiful chaos of life and the farm has definitely had its ups and downs.
But behind the scenes, things are slowly but surely coming together! We’ve been working on building something that’s not just sustainable for us but also for our local food community. It feels good to have a purpose, doesn’t it?
This past season, we kept packing food boxes for our WIC recipients at the Will County Health Center. It’s been such a fulfilling experience to help make regenerative food accessible to our most vulnerable neighbors. As a new mom, I can’t stress enough how important nutrient-dense food is for mothers and their little ones.
With immense gratitude and heartfelt appreciation, I extend my deepest thanks to the Will County executives and the willcohealth for placing their trust in us to carry out this essential work. The decision to allocate these funds for the betterment of our community speaks volumes about our shared commitment to fostering a healthier future.
It is vital to remember that food is not just sustenance; it is medicine that can transform lives. Supporting those in need is a cause that deserves our unwavering dedication and collective effort.
Also special shout out to Top Box Foods for donating boxes so we can pack more nutrient dense food! And to Kevin and Molly Gorman from Gormans Family Farm for supplying produce feeding our neighbors from Will county farmers!
It’s been quite the ride, and honestly, we’re just getting started!
Sending love,
Rachael
