investing in the future

one of my favorite things about being a grower and expanding this company is all of the investing in the future i get to do.  five years ago, i wasn't much of a "invest in the future" sort of girl.  then i turned 26, got a bit wiser, met mike when i was 27, and had a baby when i was 28. having a child, especially when it is unplanned, really gets you into investing in the future. 
growing your own food is really an investment in your health for the next few months.  preserving all that food is an investment in your grocery bill and health for a year. 
CSAs (or veg boxes) are investments into the future of your local grower.  when people agree to pre purchase produce from their growers they become investors of that farm.  they ensure that the farm can purchase seed, equipment, pay workers, and buy supplies.  subscribers invest in the farm, their grower's family, their own health, and the local economy.  they create jobs in a 10% unemployment market.   facts like these are the reason i believe that food has the power to inspire, change the world.  food is powerful. 
so to all of our subscribers and restaurant clients.  thank you. thank you for investing in our farm, our family, your economy, your business, the enviroment and your health.  you inspire.  to our future subscribers. . .please consider the power you have to change the world.
