Leave it to Maggie Shugerman to give you something sweet to read about in the news, what a badass.

I’d be interested in the operating costs and long term funding and business case. Just to ensure the long term protection of it.

Shugerman sourced the produce from a farm in Watsonville, 100 miles south of San Francisco, where she’d worked previously and noticed a pile “10ft high” of produce they couldn’t sell at farmers’ markets or didn’t have the time to harvest. She connected the socially minded family with the market, and now, once every couple of weeks, the farmers offload that produce here – to the delight of 500 clients.

This is the way. The richest country in recorded history can afford to feed people. Any argument saying otherwise is flat out wrong.
