More than ever before, 2020 has brought home what is essential. Humane farming is essential. Caring for people, animals, and the earth is essential. Living your values is essential. And you are essential. When you donate to CUESA, you are uplifting these essential community needs and contributing to a local food system rooted in care.
This month, we’re focusing on local food heroes who are essential to building the sustainable and equitable food future we all need. In this new video from CUESA, meet Dede Boies, her wife Melissa Morris, and little Eddy Knox of at Root Down Farm in Pescadero, along with the pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and dogs they care for. Amid the pandemic and devastating wildfire season this year, Dede shares what has kept her and her family going.
