Met a lady yesterday who said she hesitated to get farm share not because of cost or accessibility but because she was afraid of ending up with food she didn't want.

I told her I take the food I don't want to the food pantry.

She was like HMMMMM...

Thinking about signing up for a CSA but want to learn more about the idea before you commit? Read on. For over 40 years, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. Here are the basics: a farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Typically the share consists of a box of vegetables, but other farm products may be included. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a "membership" or a "subscription") and in return receive a box (bag, basket) of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.

“Frugal tech” ... are brought to life not by eccentric billionaires but by people doing more with less. They don’t impose top-down “solutions” that seem to complicate our lives while making a few people very rich. It turns out that genuinely innovative technology really can set people free."

My first novel, How to Surf a Hurricane, is available today! I'm honored to share two years of challenging, stimulating and creative work with you.

The book is a heist, it's true (if you liked Ocean's Eleven, you'll love this).

It's also a well-researched look at what the future might be like in 2040 (if you liked The Martian, you'll enjoy this).

But most importantly, it's a story of hope and action. If you're tired of stories of doom and gloom, that the future will be a hopeless dystopia... if you want to fan the fire inside of you that we can take the future into our own hands... you'll want to read this!

On the Post-Scarcity Food front. My local group, which covers Free Fridges, Food Rescue, and Indoor Food Gardening - we just got interviewed my our town's local newspaper.

Which is cool.

We're starting to get noticed and more and more folks are joining the group organically.

The group currently has around 65 members in the discord chat. 80ish members (much overlap) on the email newsgroup. We have around 10 folks that have signed up for the food rescue app. And we get 5 to 15 folks in person and via zoom for the monthly meetings. We have a core very active group of around 6 folks with lots of folks hanging in the wing to help as needed.

And we have intentionally NOT recruited or let folks know about us (beyond a couple local events), as we wanted to get some things in place first.

I wanted to make sure that volunteers weren't met with a ghost town, right. I wanted to get the infrastructure in place first.

Well it's in place.

And we have some initial food rescues. And some more coming down the pipe. And some irons in the fire for new free fridge placements.

And the library and food bank is asking us to put together coursework and programming around growing your own food indoors.

So. For as much as I'm fucking nervous, lol. It's time to really start growing.... fuuuuck.

Ha! Funny thing. I was arguing caution and hoping for another month or two before really branching out and a fellow coordinator pushed back and said, fuck that, let's go now!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!! I'm being scared and I've been called out, HAHAHA!!! Which is good. I needed a swift kick in the ass. (honestly, if I hung back too much, this other person would have just gone ahead and done it. I am NOT the only decision maker here, even if I was the one to get it started)..

Alright. Fine. Let's do it, HAHAHAHA!!!!!

Oooooh.... this is happening. Shiiiit!!!

Failure is scary. But success is downright terrifying.
