WEBVTT

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.500
with project scales we are

00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:15.000
doing an effort to improve our

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.500
meals working with local producers ranchers

00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:20.000
local Growers a

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.500
beekeeper and trying

00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:25.000
to just Source the freshest

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:27.500
ingredients and to make food

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:30.000
that kids will enjoy and that

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.500
nutritious our mission as a farm is

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:35.000
to create access to locally grown Foods in

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.500
the mountain communities a lot of the food that's grown up here is imported

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:40.000
from the Central Valley or from elsewhere much

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.500
further away and we feel like the Mountain

00:00:42.500 --> 00:00:45.000
community and what we have going on here

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.500
we can provide for our own we don't have to have that dependency

00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.000
on going somewhere to give food or waiting

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.500
for a truck to deliver it to us a big

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:55.000
part of what we do has to do with building resiliency in

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.500
the local communities we want to help build resiliency by helping show

00:00:57.500 --> 00:01:00.000
that it's possible to build a vibrant

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.500
business that can provide for your own family in

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:05.000
such a way that also benefits the local community we've

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.500
always felt like it was our mission to feed

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.000
people and if we have an opportunity to

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.500
feed those that need it the most namely hungry

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.000
kids in Rural America and in

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.500
to the world where our food scarcity is a real thing that

00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:20.000
gives us an opportunity to work with Schools lunch ladies

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.500
are my heroes and if we can help them on that mission then

00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.000
that's all we want I think the

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.500
opportunity to be

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:30.000
a recipient of the scales Grant is going

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.500
to be forever changing with

00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:35.000
the food that we feed our children because as

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.500
I learn how we can use food and

00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:40.000
kind of change the shift from Ultra

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.500
processed individually wrapped Mass

00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:45.000
quantity food items we can make

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.500
small improvements and this

00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:50.000
grant has given us the opportunity to do something that we never

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.500
would have been able to do and to meet the

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:55.000
partners who are in our backyard who can

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.500
work with us to feed

00:01:57.500 --> 00:02:00.000
our children healthy food
