We've been getting to work out in #Ward8! As many of you know, we don't address food deserts because we know that food access is a man-made problem with plenty of man-made solutions available for those who care to fix it. Although Ward 8 has the highest number of #farmers in #ChocolateCity, it is still considered the hardest hit by what we call #FoodApartheid. Since the two wards #EastOfTheRiver can only access produce at two big box stores, #DreamingOutLoud is building a market in #HistoricAnacostia! The significance of building something at the intersection of #MLK and #MarionBarry is not lost on us, but knowing that we will be able to give more market access to #BlackFarmers and #BlackBusinessOwners in the region while giving our community a chance to buy #LocallyGrown organic produce is an honor and a privilege that we don't take lightly. Tell your friends and follow this journey with us all the way to the grand opening!! #LinkInBio #FreshFood #FoodJustice #BlackOwned #HealthIsWealth #HealthyEating #GrowYourOwn #FoodIsMedicine #SmallBusiness #LocallySourced

🌟 **Connecting People: From Data to Dirt** 🌱 By day, I’m all about connecting people with data, creating solutions that drive efficiency and innovation.

The rocketing demand for free range chicken in the UK is magnificent. Another signal that we, as consumers, want meat that not only tastes better, but is produced with care for the animal and the environment. BUT, while most will have an expectation that every free range chicken is grown in the way Will does at Sutton Hoo, the reality is that his methods represent a tiny, tiny fraction of what we produce in the UK. Instead, it is almost all produced in large, static and temperature controlled sheds. While chickens on the edge of these sheds can go outside, the majority stay inside for much of their lives - rarely, if ever, seeing sunlight. Not what you thought? I cannot stress enough - this is not an indictment on the static shed chicken farmer. It would be mad to suggest that their method is on par with a battery cage in terms of its animal husbandry. It is, instead, a reflection of food labelling doing a magnificent jedi mind trick to pacify your guilt without needing to give you true visibility of how your food is produced. Critically, this is not solely the sin of the supermarkets. That is why Herd's chain is built on absolute transparency - not just of the farmer but of the methods they use to produce your food. Will’s chickens are incredible. Short of feed and water, there is no resource other than time that’s used to produce them. We’re going to bring you into every nook and cranny of his process so you can make your own mind up as to whether it meets your standards. My hope is that it will. Drop me a message if you want to come and see it for yourself. www.herdmarket.com #chicken #british #freerange #herd #food #transparency

The webinar will aim to define local sourcing; identify the benefits of it for caterers, farmers and growers, and local communities; look at the importance of animal welfare and quality standards; and examine ways that British farm produce can compete with cheap imports when public sector budgets are so tight.
