Waste Not Food Taxi

hodge-podge soup Every couple of weeks, we all should take a look at our fridge, freezer, and pantry to identify items we need to use up. I've been guilty of throwing out fresh vegetables many times, because I never...

No farmers' market today, but I'm baking anyway.

Daily Bakes: Holler if you're interested or have special requests. I'll bake at least one item every day this week and we'll see how it goes! Last night was banana bread, no nuts, 10 oz. loaves, $4 each. Today is oatmeal molasses bread (yeast bread, not a dessert). I'll have weights and prices this afternoon. Also jumble cookies (choco chips, PB chips, toffee bits, oats) - 4-5 oz for $5, 2 oz for $2. Any 2 oz. cookies can be ordered, $10 for a dozen. 4 oz hearts are gone, but I have 4 oz bombs (round) for $6 - strawberry, almond toffee, orange cream, and dark choco raspberry.

Funds raised support Waste Not Food Taxi, building a network of food resources county-wide. Thanks! ( Website updates & photos coming soon.)

Share tables - one small piece of the solution to food waste. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1QxMN6Mtip/

In the US, a growing number of schools are adopting "share tables" as part of their efforts to reduce food waste and promote sustainability. These designated tables allow students to place unopened food items—such as snacks or drinks—that they don't want, so other students can take them. It's a win-win for reducing waste and promoting food access, especially for students who may need a little extra.

Many schools have expanded this initiative by donating any leftover food to food banks or after-school programs. This model encourages students to participate in food recovery efforts and fosters a community spirit of sharing and sustainability​.

Additionally, the USDA supports share tables as part of its broader food redistribution programs, promoting healthier school environments while also reducing waste
