Since 1991 Goodness Greeness has collaborated in all sectors of the organic marketplace to strengthen the infrastructure and facilitate the growth of the organic food system. The local and regional farmers that deliver the freshest and most delicious product to our region are a vital part of this system, and their way of farming in an invaluable component of a better future. When we connect our taste buds to a local item, we become aware of the neglected connection between our dinner plates and the history and strength of our region. Goodness Greeness is happy to announce the current acreage of our regional food program for 2010, and we look forward to watching it grow.
Farm Aid 2010 -- Sep 27, 2010
Goodness Greeness is proud to support Farm Aid again in their efforts to sustain the family farm, and increase access to good food for all of us. We will be providing the produce that will fuel the bellies of the artists, production crew, and VIPs. This is sure to be an amazing show, as always. Find out more by visiting the Farm Aid 2010 website.
On September 10, 2010, Goodness Greeness answered a call by our long-time partner Jewel/Osco to join them, along with FOX Chicago, to draw attention to the issue of hunger through their “Give a Little, Feed a Lot” campaign. The goal was to encourage the general public to participate in food collections and donations for the Greater Chicago Food Depository, the Northern Illinois Food Bank, the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana, the Midwest Food Bank, and the River bend Food Bank. This program runs through-out the month of September, and all 183 Jewel/Osco stores are excepting donations. For more information, visit: http://www.myfoxchicago.com/subindex/community/food_drive
