As a Board Member of @ProduceGood, it brings me great joy to see our @SDGE Environmental All Stars volunteering to glean oranges. Thanks to all who helped pick 2,000 lbs. of 🍊 🍊 ! The citrus was donated to @feedingsandiego to help them feed their clients. #SDGEgiving

Jose Ramirez doesn’t have to do that much in his Boyle Heights backyard orchard these days, but in the beginning, the work was intense. latimes.com/lifestyle/story/…

He turned his weed-filled yard into a low-water jungle of fruit trees

Instead of a lawn, Jose Ramirez planted 250 trees, including avocados, limes, apples, mangoes and even coffee beans in his Boyle Heights yard.

Rescuing fresh produce like these satsumas from going to waste and donating them to help nourish local families, including children, is something to be incredibly proud of! Thank you @producegood and your awesome volunteers for all of your hard work. #FeedingHopeTogether

Just another day at the office. @ProduceGood gleaned over 5k lbs of scrumptious satsumas that would have gone to landfill, providing over 15k servings to @SDFoodBank #producegood #nokidhungry #gleaning

Did you know Feeding San Diego helps combat food waste by accepting excess produce from your garden, fruit trees, or small crops? Contact local gleaning groups like @ProduceGood to arrange for your produce to be picked and transported for distribution to those in need!

Farm Aid@FarmAid11 May 2021
"In 1910, farmers earned 40 cents for every dollar in sales. Today, they only earn a penny from each dollar, the result of a drastic consolidation of farm ownership centered on a few big commodity crops such as corn and soy." civileats.com/2021/05/07/why…

I do not think you only have a right to health care if you have the money to afford it. I think you have a right to health care because you are a human being.

Joe Biden, 2006: "Folks, I voted for a fence. I voted for unlike most Democrats...I voted for 700-mile fence." "People are driving across that border with tons of everything from byproducts from methamphetamine to cocaine to heroin. And it's all coming up from corrupt Mexico."

1 in every 3 bites of food we eat depends on bees and other pollinators, but now bees are dying at an alarming rate due in large part to the rise of neonic pesticides. Act now: on.nrdc.org/2PbaZ7H
