My green thumb came only as a result of the mistakes I made while learning to see things from the plant's point of view.   - H. Fred Ale
   
  Dear Friends,

There is so much going on in all of our lives..I hope you are well and thriving this summer!

We've got your weekly selections, Organic News, Farm Events, and Organic Farming updates for you so check out each section.

GLOBAL NEWS - ORGANIC FARMING:
I've added an excerpt from an article From Organic Consumers Association that brings all of us up to date on where we stand in the world on sustainable food supply side.  We (You/Me/Us)  bring this concept to your table weekly through our CSA. it is now gaining talking points worthy sharing with your friends, neighbors and businesses because we all want to stop the distruction of our planet.  Organic Farmers represent approximately 3-5% of all food grown.  If we are to be truely sustainable it's going to take a real shift in thinking!  We must talk to one another about what matters, where we make a difference and how we can join together with Seabreeze and take back our food supply:

"Regenerative Agriculture": Regenerative Agriculture represents a small minority of the food grown worldwide, probably 3 - 5 percent, of today's global agriculture. Sadly, 90 percent of farmers, policy-makers and the public still believe in an agricultural model based on chemistry, technology and faulty policy.  But we could be. One of the key ways to do that is to convince consumers, who far outnumber producers, that agriculture has to change. Organic Consumers Association recommends consumers do that by boycotting GMOs and factory-farmed foods, in keeping with the advice on our popular bumper sticker: "Cook Organic not the Planet."    Regenerative Agriculture We agree and invite you to join us in spreading the word your little CSA ...This is our mantra, way of life and one that brings you the freshest options for your family every week.


RECIPE OF THE WEEK:
        
Cucumber Lemonade (Agua de Pepino)
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and cubed
  • 1 lemon
  • 5 c water
  • Sweetner of choice to taste

Add cucumber and water to a blender and puree. Strain. Add juice of lemon and sugar to taste. Serve over ice.
