"brussel sprouts have the most glucosinolates...and kill more human cancer cells than all other crucifers" (Robinson, 2013). Try chopping them raw in a food processor, add citrus slices, pecorino cheese, a little red onion, lemon juice & olive oil. Perfecto! 🍋 🫒 🍊

Very excited to share this piece by Source of the Spring highlighting not only our work, but the unparalleled support we’ve received from Silver Spring Cares and CKC Farming. Silver Spring is a community of people who understand how to look after one another!
Two Silver Spring nonprofit organizations — CKC Farming and Silver Spring Cares — have teamed up with Shepherd's Table in a three-way collaboration to help keep its clients fed each day.
SUPPORT A LOCAL FARM AND SHEPHERDS TABLE ALL AT ONCE! We are thrilled to share that Koiner Farm (CKC Farming) is donating 100% of their winter harvest to Shepherd’s Table. This incredible gift will supply our community with fresh and healthy meals of the highest quality, sourced right here in downtown Silver Spring. You can make this possible by sponsoring a Koiner Farm delivery for $100. It’s a great opportunity to support two top-notch organizations at once! Donate here: ckcfarming.org/sponsor-a-delivery

Attention to our garden enthusiasts, CKC Farming is hosting a fun 30-minute workshop "The Art of The Seed Start" on Saturday, March 6th, at 5:00 PM via Zoom!
During this workshop, learn how our partners at Koiner Farm prepare and care for their seed starts, with some helpful tips available for your own gardening! You will also get to hear from Kate Medina, CKC's Executive Director, on how to do small-scale seed starts with a far less-elaborate home setup.

CKC Farming this week posted a video in tribute to Koiner Farm founder Charles Koiner, honoring him on what would have been his 100th birthday:
Koiner Farm in Silver Spring will be adding equipment this fall that will allow it to extend the growing season for certain crops, according to Kate Medina, founder and executive director of CKC Farming:
CKC Farming is hosting a virtual tour of Koiner Farm & urban homesteading workshop:
"At the national level, and even in the state level, bad policy decisions are going to be detrimental. I’m afraid of this move to privatization. I mean, look at our hospitals. There’s no central authority—everyone is just doing their own thing. That increases inequality and inequity, which has serious consequences for human and economic health. We see so many examples in Europe. It’s not perfect, but where things are centralized, that means people can act quickly and in unison."
