Many good things happen around a table! A table is a place where we share... food, conversation, decisions and time, a table is often the place we gather and celebrate as well as mourn.
We got into farming because we cared what we were putting on the table for our family and wanted to know where our food came from, how it was raised and processed and how it traveled to our home. Over time our passion for putting good food on our table expanded to other tables...and well the rest as they say, was history.
This weekend, I sat around the table with others who are just as passionate about putting good, local foods on your table.
I was proud to participate in the first official board meeting of the newly formed Direct Farm Marketing Association of Manitoba, a group that hopes to create a mechanism for the voice of small scale farmers in Manitoba to be heard. Time, energy and shared goals will lead us forward and I'm excited to see how things progress. Something tells me that there will be many shared tables in our future.
