From Tom Lively:
Wow I’m super excited about the Village School taking the HUGE step of bringing school lunch prep back in house. No doubt this will be a big and challenging project for you. Your success will be watched by many in the whole foods, local and Organic movements with excitement and by many in the processed industrial foods and factory farm industry with trepidation.
Like OGC and its push for Organic produce you will find yourself on the battle lines of necessary and righteous change where often the hills seem so steep it’s hard to keep your chin up. With perseverance and support from our community my guess is you’ll create a model program that we can all be proud of and will help other schools see the light!
As to your request for help in procuring food prep implements etc to re build the school kitchen OGC would like to offer a $500.00 matching grant challenge to the foodies of Eugene. So to all that get this email that think that school kids should get fed more local and Organic foods please contact Stacey and put your money where your mouth is so to speak.
That is really nice...
