Give us your food scraps, we'll give you veggies!

In our effort to establish monthly "farm stand sales," we sometimes find ourselves in low-harvest cycles.  This month, to solve that issue, Jonathan Galindez went harvesting in the neighborhood, so that we ended up with locally grown mandarins, oranges, and cilantro from our gardens to share with the neighbors, who collect food scraps for our compost piles.  The cycle continues - we get neighbors' nutrient rich food scraps, all those nutrients go back in the soil, the food we grow sucks up all those nutrients, and they go back into the bellies of our neighbors!
