Flood Relief for Weather Stricken Organic Farmers

In the organic farming world, we all work together. Many of the farms that were severely damaged in the recent storms are our direct competitors for CSA customers and business with the food coops in the Twin Cities. However, they are also our partners in this whole organic farming business, pulling together to make the organic and local food scene work.

The Wedge Food Coop, Eastside Co-op, Just Foods Co-op (Northfield) and Outpost Natural Foods (Milwaukee) have teamed up with the Institute for Ag and Trade Policy's Sow the Seeds Fund to provide flood relief for the affected organic local foods producers. You can find more information and an online donation form here. Rock Spring Farm is pledging $100. Donations in any amount will provide a significant amount of relief.
