Local Food & Covid-19

Posted on March 15th, 2020 by Pam Dysinger

Wow, we are living in interesting times! The world is becoming paralyzed by fear and uncertainty over the Corona Virus pandemic. But, on the farm, business goes on as usual: Seeds are being planted, soil is being prepared and we are gearing up for another season. We'll admit, it seems a little surreal at times to see the headlines as we go about our spring planting, but nature doesn't go on "hold" while we wait for things to get back to "normal." We, like you, don't know exactly what the future holds, but there are a few things we do know: 1. We know who holds the future, and He says, "Fear not." 2. We know that healthy, plant-based food is one of the best ways to increase our body's ability to fight disease (Which is something you're not hearing in the news. There's a lot you can do besides handwashing!). 3. We know that everyone needs to eat, and now, more than ever, that food should be the best and most nutritious it can possibly be! 4. We remain committed to serving our customers -- whatever that needs to look like (we are actively exploring options of how best to keep you supplied with fresh fruits and veggies during this time of "social distancing." Any suggestions are welcome!)

We are all being bombarded with Corona Virus information, so we don't want to overload you, but this is one that we think has the best balance -- and some good, practical tips.  Dr. Nedley focuses on building your immune system -- which is what we should all be concerned about right now.  It is only 14 minutes long and we believe you will be blessed and encouraged by watching it.
