Our kitchen has been a buzz with the catering season upon us. Our gardens planted and already showing signs of blooming edibles. Excess plants that have no room in our gardens, are left on the warehouse dock for friends to pick up and plant. As busy as our kitchen is, we manage to maneuver around each other flawlessly. Old friends, new friends, we are a community who deeply respect each others talents. Today we would like to give a warm congratulations to our newest kitchen member, Jenny. She will be graduating this weekend from Cornell. Down to earth, talented and brilliant. We look forward to including her into our fold of playful and creative banter. Sometimes, we start the day out by looking at the Sabian Symbol for that day. (The energetic quality the stars bring) Today’s symbol is “A well with bucket & rope under the shade of majestic trees”. To me that really paints a picture of everything taken care of, a fundamental trust in and cooperation with life. What a wonderful energy to carry with you on your graduation day. Half of us will be at market tomorrow, the other half on the hill bringing appetizers to the celebratory students. No little cakes this weekend but plenty to choose from. Also this weekend will be a workshop on seed saving from indigenous culture in Guatemala. Seeds sustain life. A garden well tended can sustain a community. If we all share in the work, we will all share in the bounty. All the best from our market staff.
