The Food Project
I was first drawn to the Food Project’s stand at my local farmer’s market by the looks of their gorgeous produce. I’m a sucker for great looking vegetables, and the prices were so reasonable!
I met J. Harrison there and talked to some of the kids who were working in the fields and selling the produce at the market. As they told me about the organization, I heard the passion in their voices- especially J.’s and if you go on their website, the www.thefoodproject.org , you will see what a remarkable organization it is.
They have fields here in Massachusetts in Lincoln, Lynn, and in Beverly, not far from my house, but they sell their produce at stands all over Boston and in the Inner City and donate it to shelters, bringing GOOD food to people who may not otherwise be able to afford it. The Food Project has become an inspiration for programs all over the U.S. Check out the list of other like-minded programs after the recipe.
Enjoy this great time of the year and the great vegetables that are available!!
