Time line for expected produce
Anything else?
Working on tips and recipes.
Getting these translated into Spanish suggested. Possible transators include high school students, ESL people, and Bonnie Birker who is a recently signed up volunteer at Reiman Gardens. She indicated she may be willing to help RG develop Spanish programs.
Another possible place for excess produce is the First United Methodist Church. They prepare evening meals three nights a week and may be able to use any extra produce we have.
Will try to put together summary of produce from last year’s sign in sheets.
