Gratitude to Local Farmers for Supplying Produce for Seniors
Posted on August 22, 2024 by Rosa Chavez This 2024 growing season, Archuleta Seniors Inc. and Terrawalk Farm are partnering with Nourish Colorado to bring low-income older adults (age 55 and older) in Archuleta County locally grown, seasonal, organic produce shares through Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). CSAs, or farm memberships, are a means of creating a mutually beneficial connection between consumers and their farmers. These partnerships result in a bi-monthly bounty of vegetables for the subscriber. ASI Executive Director, Rose Chavez, and Janet Monks, Senior Program and Administrative Manager, alongside Archuleta County Public Health Department WIC Coordinator, Inez Lobato, traveled out on Highway 151, just past Chimney Rock, to Terrawalk Farm, a small family farm located on the west side of Archuleta County. |
