“I would just appeal to the folks that are really thinking about the health of their own family and the nutritious nature of the food they’re feeding and the many choices they have. Thinking how to share and how to be good stewards of what they’ve learned about food to be able to take it to the rest of their community. This is truly a way of giving back and understanding that they’re being given the gift of special knowledge about food. There’s people in their own community who need better food every day.”
