October is California Farmer and Farmworker Month! Our California farmer-workers help to keep the kids in our programs eating healthy, organic, local and DELICIOUS– last week we picked up Fiesta plums and Asian pear-apples from our local farmer’s market – grown at Inzana Ranch in Hughs, CA. Thank you, Joye and Tony Inzana, from all of our staff and program participants!
