Farm-to-Family to Our Garden Club




members of the garden club

October has been a busy month for our garden club. We wanted to share some of the activities we've been involved in and give you a preview of those to come. The speaker for our October meeting was Malea Guiriba, co-founder of Pie in the Sky, a 501(c)(3) grassroots charitable organization seated in Hastings, Florida. Malea joined us to tell us about her new venture, Farm-to-Family, and how it supports the mission of Pie in the Sky. At the meeting we got the opportunity to taste several dishes made from seasonal vegetables purchased at the Farm-to-Family local produce truck. We invite you to try these Recipes for October Produce, including a Ménage à Squash. Last, but not least, our president, Mickey, has written an article, Support Your Local Monarchs!, on how important and easy it is to make your home a sanctuary for monarch butterflies. She has photos of larval monarchs savoring her milkweed before beginning their cocoon stage.  For now, please continue reading this article by clicking on "more" below.   We'll remind you at the end!
