MI Neighborhood Food Movers

I have been incredibly moved (no pun intended) by recent press about this new initiative that the Governor is piloting in the Detroit area. I hope that it takes root and grows (ok, pun intended) in the city and becomes a model for the rest of the impoverished areas in the state. I also hope that it will prove to be a blessing to local farmers who are also struggling right now.

You can read about it the Free Press and Michigan Radio (NPR).

The MNFM is an exciting possibility for the residents of Detroit and for local farmers. Something as simple as good quality and accessible fresh produce is a major step toward hope and new imagination, not to mention justice and health. I hope that this is a blessing and spreads to other hurting areas of the state.
