There’s one week left to shop at Just Food Co-op in support of Sharing Our Roots! We’re grateful to be the co-op’s featured nonprofit this September, so when you round up at the register, your extra change will go toward our work to create a more just local food system. It may be just a few cents to you, but it means a lot to our 30+ emerging farmers, 125+ community gardeners, and the land restoration team at our 163-acre farm. (fb)

Happy fall, y’all. And happy goldenrod and aster season. “The question of goldenrod and asters was of course just emblematic of what I really wanted to know. It was an architecture of relationships, of connections that I yearned to understand. I wanted to see the shimmering threads that hold it all together. And I wanted to know why we love the world, why the most ordinary scrap of meadow can rock us back on our heels in awe.” —Robin Wall Kimmerer As we mark today’s fall equinox, may we keep strengthening the shimmering threads that hold us all together and slow down enough to nurture our deep love for the world.
