saving soul food farms

Last week Soul Food Farms suffered a devastating fire. The farm is located in the North Bay and have pasture-raised chicken and eggs. It is one of a growing number of farms dedicated to sustainable and ethical agriculture, but is now is in danger of failing due to the damage the farm has sustained.

Local restaurants and businesses such as Bi-Rite, Chez Panisse, Coi, Mission Street Foods and Pizzaiola have stepped up and are reportedly organizing benefits and a raffle to raise funds for the farm. It is encouraging to see community support for local farms whose goal is not simply profit, but to provide healthy and humanely raised food. If you have either time or money to spare, please consider donating or volunteering. Click on the link to Soul Food Farms blog for details.
