Final Tally: 1,883 pounds donated!
Yesterday we received the final totals for the amount of produce the House of Hope donated to the Neighborhood House Food Shelf. We should feel great having donated nearly one ton of fresh, healthy produce from our land. This year's total represents a 41% increase over last year (1,117 pounds) and we have seen an increase every year since we began. Congratulations volunteers!

A summery-fall day
The bounty of October first. If you are in the Twin Cities today, you'd better get outside and enjoy the magnificent, summery-fall day, this morning was better than a cup of coffee --seriously.

Hey, we missed you!
These cukesauruses were hiding up against the fence (that's a quarter, not a dime at the bottom right). I have no idea what they will taste like. We harvested another 62 pounds of lots of beautiful, organic produce this morning.
Here, one of our great, early morning volunteers shows off some okra, banana peppers, and heirloom tomatoes, yum! |
