Check out our new podcast, Root to Seed, and let us know what you think!! Join us as we take a deep dive into food justice in Appalachia Ohio. anchor.fm/community-food…

Food access has long been in issue in #Appalachia. That's why Foundation for Appalachian Ohio launched an emergency #COVID19 response fund so local groups like @AthensOhioCFI can keep safely serving communities 💚🥕 Good idea that could benefit other areas bit.ly/3d0kbI4

Today begins the Little By Little Campaign on GlobalGiving. Every dollar up to $50 will be matched March 23rd-March 27th. We are raising money to fund current and future Donation Station purchases. Please donate here -->tinyurl.com/ycxm34vv

It's still not too late to donate before the end of the year! Consider donating to our @GlobalGiving campaign tonight before midnight: Feeding Families in Appalachia: bit.ly/2SELnVI

Come join us tonight! We will be making seed ornaments for Christmas. Look forward to seeing you soon!

Today, the more money CFI raises with GlobalGiving, the greater the match we can earn. We have about a million reasons to be thankful this season, and the immense community support we experience is one of them! #BeAGlobalGiver here: globalgiving.org/projects/feed-…

What a great day at the AFM today! Had a great homemade Discovery Kitchen treat along with our always happy Donation Station & Community Engagement Susie Huser. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 🦃

Be sure to come out tomorrow to the last Wednesday Athens Farmers Market! We have been busy preparing a treat -- Homemade wheat thins that you can spread with either butternut butter or arugula pesto, then top with roasted b'nut seeds, savory or sweet, for a fun local treat!

Thank everyone for their generous contributions to our #truckforgood campaign! Thanks to an outpouring of community support we're going to be able to purchase a second vehicle specifically for hauling produce when we expand distribution in the spring! fundly.com/community-food…

The last few weeks of October we were excited to host Micogreens & Food Scraps workshops with the @MyACPL. Thank you so much to all who attended!

Happy Tuesday everyone! Try this super simple recipe for preparing delicata squash this weekend & pair with your favorite whole-grain dish, apples, goat cheese, and/or toasted walnuts/hazelnuts. These little guys make a perfect boat for filling with whatever your heart desires.

Please don't forget to join us tomorrow evening from 5-8pm at @EclipseBeerHall for Drafts for Difference. Special thanks for the @AthensSunrise for selecting us to be their local organization this month. Looking forward to seeing you there!
