| A MESSAGE FROM CUESA Gather, Nourish, Engage
| Yesterday, despite many of us waking up to what feels like a new and uncertain world, the farmers market provided some sense of routine and normalcy: farmers and food vendors set up their stands as they do every week, and shoppers gathered to see their friends, buy beautiful fall produce, and meet for lunch.
Like you, we are deeply concerned about the future and what the recent election results will mean in terms of civil rights, climate change, health care, food access, corporate influence over our food, and other pressing issues of our day. We are worried about the fate of America's immigrants, who are a vital part of our communities and the lifeblood of our food system.
But in a time of many unknowns, you give us real hope. The grassroots food movement is growing, and the farmers market continues to be fertile ground for positive change. Sustainable agriculture holds incredible promise for the health of our communities, our children, our economy, and our planet. |
