DoomsdaysCW#FoodAid groups bought from #LocalFarmers with #USDA grants. Abrupt cuts leave both struggling.
By Meg Oliver, June 30, 2025
"Four days a week, Maile Auterson and one of her employees drive hundreds of miles across Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas to deliver fresh produce to #FoodDeserts.
"Auterson's nonprofit, Springfield #CommunityGardens, helps #UnderservedSchools, #FoodPantries and senior centers. One center in Ava, #Missouri, is the only place for many where they can get a hot meal.
"Springfield Community Gardens is one of many organizations that relied on grants from the United States Department of Agriculture to distribute produce to schools and low-income communities through two pandemic-era federal programs. They provided about $1 billion in funding to schools and food banks to buy food directly from local farms, ranchers and producers.
"But in March, the USDA abruptly canceled the programs, calling the decision a 'return to long-term, fiscally responsible initiatives.'
"Now, Auterson says, 'some of the most vulnerable people' are without adequate access to food, including children and #SeniorCitizens."

Food aid groups bought from local farmers with USDA grants. Abrupt cuts leave both struggling.
Advocates warn the cuts could ripple through food deserts, rural communities and urban areas where access to healthy food is miles away.

Farmers, makers market coming to Biddeford this summer
Biddeford will join the list of local communities with farmers markets and makers markets as the city’s first market gets ready to open this summer.
Posted March 25
Sydney Richelieu
"Farmers and makers markets are popular in towns along the seacoast, and as warmer weather approaches, markets are getting ready to open.
"This summer, Biddeford will debut its first farmers and makers market in downtown, piloted by the Downtown Development Committee (DDC).
"The committee had been discussing a possible public market for over a year when the Courier reported on the idea in February."

Here is the first one that was highlighted...

“What makes the farmers market such a special place is that you’re actually creating community around food.”
