A recent news story really caught our interest, so we thought we’d share:
Robin Emmons, a Charlotte resident, has made it her responsibility to make fresh, local food available to her community. Emmons’ mission began when realized that her brother, who was staying in a transitional facility, was being served primarily processed foods. She grew fresh produce for him from her home garden, and eventually increased production so she could donate to others as well.
Then, over three acres of land were donated to Emmons so that she could expand her efforts. Emmons has since formed an organization, Sow Much Good, “to eliminate socio-economic, racial, and ethnic health disparities that result from a lack of access to nutritionally dense food products in marginalized populations.” In addition to providing food, Emmons also provides education on seasonal eating, canning and preserving.
