Summer, Summer, Summer

This holiday marks the beginning of summer for me, even if summer isn't officially recognized on the calendar until later in June. We're on the threshhold of my most favorite of seasons. I have already seen happy glimpses of summer days and the teasing approach of a new season in the harvests at the farmers market. The return of bell peppers, cherries and peaches grace the stands, promising many days of sunshine and goodness to come.

I've been grateful to see so many wonderful,  informative, and celebratory agricultural movements and events in the media in recent days. There are so many people working to bring much-deserved awareness, recognition and gratitude to the simple, hard work of growing food. As the summer approaches and your own summer garden blooms and bears the fruit of your own love and work, make sure to give some gratitude to yourself for maintaining your own connection to the land and nourishing yourself and your family. And if you haven't planted yet, it's not too late. I've still got a whole lot of planting to do myself. I took this picture on one of my delivery routes a few months ago. I'm not usually a fan of graffiti, but this made me smile. Speaking of delivery routes... 

Let's bring on the food! The first menu for June is UP! I will be delivering 2 Raw Meals and 2 Cooked Meals on Thursdays beginning this week and throughout the summer until a couple of weeks in August. I'll keep you posted on the delivery schedule and special events to come.

You can sign up for a morning of fitness and food this Friday, June 4. I'll be hosting a Bootcamp Brunch with an amazing personal trainer, Lisa Davis, at my home. We'll enjoy a 50 minute workout followed by a delicious Sage Kitchen brunch.  Your donation of $40 will directly benefit Grant Elementary School. Please email me if you are interested.

Gratitude, respect and appreciation to all of those we honor on this Memorial Day.
