We sell lots of our eggs through The 607 CSA, a project of Catskills Agrarian Alliance. CAA has other projects, like providing access to land and housing for young and new farmers, and providing food to those who are food insecure through a mutual aid network of organizations both upstate and downstate. I am proud to be a member of the board of CAA, an amazing and farsighted organization doing great work sometimes on a shoestring with all the federal budget cuts under this administration. Our hens are laying like crazy this time of year and we had a bit of a surplus, so we donated them to CAA to put toward the mutual aid network. This is where they went, Heart of Dinner, from their website:
We address food insecurity, social isolation, and loneliness among Asian American older adults living in significantly under‑resourced and underinvested communities.
Every Wednesday, Heart of Dinner delivers hand‑decorated care packages filled with culturally thoughtful meals from local small businesses and handwritten notes of love to 800 Elders across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx. In 2025, we brought this same care to Elders in Los Angeles facing wildfire displacement and crisis.
Each care package is designed to nourish body, heart, and spirit, reminding our Elders that they are loved and deeply seen.
This is how I am celebrating our sesquicentennial, because this is the America I love, each of us looking out for one another, helping to make life better for all.
Delivering love to Asian elders throughout NYC, one meal at a time.
