🧅Today’s Tasty Tip?? 🧅 ONIONS!⁣
⁣
Another versatile vegetable that can add subtly sweet, earthy, and tangy flavors to a variety of dishes including our own Braised Chard with Cannellini Beans (link in bio on Instagram).
⁣
Roast them, sauté them, or finely mince them and eat them raw 😱. Check out the slides to learn more & get cooking with some onions today!⁣

Our first feature is on someone you may or may not have heard of and that is the phenomenal Fannie Lou Hamer! 👩🏿‍🌾
⁣
📮If you’ve ever heard the quote “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired” that is only a snippet of the powerful words Hamer had when addressing the Democratic National Convention in 1964 about voter suppression in The South, which is still a prevalent and relevant issue during election time around the U.S. ⁣
⁣
🌱On top of her voter advocacy Hamer’s legacy includes founding the Freedom Farmers Cooperative in rural Mississippi to support local Black families, farmers, and other community members due to government programs denying them of food, farming materials, and economic resources. 🌱 The co-op provided members with space to grow food, get supplies, have access to fresh food, build housing, and to be a business incubator for aspiring local entrepreneurs. 💰⁣
⁣
Hamer’s contributions towards economic empowerment for low-income communities has certainly had an influence on the current rise in the formation of co-operative business models in NYC and around the country (e.g. grocery store coops, cooperative caterers, cooperative CSAs, etc.).⁣
