Greetings from the Northeast,
With turmoil all over the world, we recognize that we are lucky to have such good fortune. Here are some things for which we're thankful:
-
The start of maple sugaring season. The weather has been cooperating so far and we hope it's a fruitful harvest for sugar shacks across the landscape. If you get the chance, check out the offical Maple Open House weekends, such as the one coming up in VT this weekend.
-
We had an overwhelming show of support from you readers last week: thank you for the feedback and for spreading the word about Good Food Jobs.
-
We officially reached 500 jobs posted on our working website, which has only been up for 5 months. We like the idea of 500 more passionate people working toward a better food system. Let's hope we reach 1,000 by the start of Summer.
Eternally grateful,
Taylor & Dorothy

Executive Director
GRuB

In addition to helping start thousands of individual and community gardens throughout the state, GRuB also runs its own two-acre urban farm where Kim puts her background to work. While some of us are lucky enough to channel a specific college degree into an already existing dream job, Kim managed to create the perfect career at the convergence of her two primary interests: food and community. And the success of GRuB's efforts is more proof that good food works. Read more
