A drop in the bucket

Today we at Harvest Stewards dropped off our first bundle of produce to a local food pantry, "Action Ministries".  The produce in question is six pounds of cucumbers, grown in the container I mentioned in an earlier post.

I know that six pounds of cukes is not the solution to hunger...  But consider if, say, 100 people -or even as few as 20 or 30, for that matter- devoted a little bit of time, effort and space to growing some food for others!  What a difference that could begin to make!  This is but a drop in the bucket, but at least the bucket isn't completely dry.

  2. Thanks, Julie! One of the great things about this concept is that it is SO utterly simple and therefore so very scalable. That is my aim, certainly. Obviously, we're starting small, but i reckon we'll grow a little every season.

    Thanks for following the progress of HS!
