2nd Annual Keweenaw Food Day
The Keweenaw had another successful Food Day celebration! Thank you to all our gardeners that helped represent RSCG and make the event a success.
Food Day is a nationwide celebration and a movement toward more healthy, affordable, and sustainable food. Food Day, created by Center for Science in the Public Interest, is powered by a diverse coalition of food movement leaders, organizations, and people from all walks of life. Food Day takes place annually on October 24 to address issues as varied as health and nutrition, hunger, agricultural policy, animal welfare, and farm worker justice. The ultimate goal of Food Day is to strengthen and unify the food movement in order to improve our nation’s food policies.
Late fall bliss...
It's just about mid-October and the garden is still going strong. We're making up for the late spring.

| Sweet potatoes! How'd they do that? |
 |
| Pick, wash, and chew...only garden carrots will do. |
 |
| Putting a deposit in the fertility bank with a layer of well composted horse manure. |

| Nasturtiums still going strong and open for business. Here comes a customer! |
