Update #6: sunday farmers market baltimore !

Posted on October 8

sunday october 9 , we will be down at the farmers market collecting food from the farmers & getting it to those in baltimore. in the next couple weeks we will be looking for volunteers to help put out bins, collect food, deliver produce, hand out flyers , spread the word about our projects & get input from the community about what we are doing . we are always wanting to hear thoughts from others so we can do a better job of serving baltimore. one of our goals is to expand our collections operation because we see the potential to get more fresh food to those most challenged everyday. there is a tremendous amount of wasted goods that could be gathered & redistributed throughout the season. we are looking for other markets, other farmers, other urban gardens,any potential source that we could partner with to mutually benefit the battle against hunger or the dependence on unhealthy foods locally,please feel free to come out & participate & spread the word about our efforts. it takes help from everyone . we are very thankful for all your help !

MISSION STATEMENT:
Provide fresh organic produce to local businesses, and integrate young people into the sustainable practices related to growing organic produce to promote a peaceful lifestyle.

ORGANIZATION HISTORY:
The Hamilton crop circle is a group of local volunteers who have come together to help their community discover the benefits of growing fresh local organic produce. As the relationship between the group and the community continued to grow, so did their awareness of the benefits of living a more local sustainable life. It became apparent that living a healthy happy lifestyle had many natural benefits that many in the community had not yet experienced. In order to assist those in need, the crop circle started sharing food with other members of the community besides its volunteers. Local restaurants became interested in purchasing the fresh locally grown organic produce for their valued customers. More opportunities emerged to engage the community in the garden initiatives. A local community school was looking for an organization to partner with that would allow the teachers, the students and the staff to become more involved in what was happening in this community. Having a community garden on the school grounds has had a tremendous positive benefit already, and the energy that is surrounding this project is immeasurable. The students along with all of those who are involved are greatly looking forward to working together in the future to show the benefits that gardening can have at every level of our community. The potential for the students to learn about the benefits of working with local businesses and other groups in the community are endless. As we continue to grow we will always be thankful for the opportunity to work together and grow together in order to live a peaceful life.
