PFP and Well-Being
To realize nutritional and health benefits, it is helpful to have enjoyable (and tasty!) ways to incorporate fresh food into our diets. We share recipes highlighting fresh seasonal produce in our regular newsletters and information about preserving and enjoying local food as part of our seasonal skill shares.
Through community cooking demonstrations at the farmers’ market, CSA and Food Share partner organizations, we share information about simple recipes that reflect the bounty of the season.
We incorporate hand-on learning experiences about nutrition by preparing a snack or a simple dish as part of educational visits to our farm and Seeds of the Food System exposure program with urban teens.

End of Season Potluck and Celebration Responses
Good local organic food makes me feel strong. I get about 20 miles per pound of PFP greens on my bike! Makes commuting easier.
Satisfied and full of the life that sustains me, and thankful to all.
Food makes me feel healthy and whole. It also connects me to nature.
The food that I eat directly correlates to how I feel. The greens & veggies from the farm make me feel up & light.
The food I eat is fruits, vegetables, grains and no meat. I feel happy and can concentrate easily. When I have candy or unhealthy foods I get grumpy. For example on Halloween I had candy. I felt horrible and my stomach hurt for days.
Content. Healthy. Whole. Energized. Happy.
My food warms me in many ways! Growing it, preparing it, and eating it!
PFP food makes me feel happy, proud, full!
Good healthy food makes me feel whole-PFP food is ALIVE!
It really depends on the food in question. I find that when I eat PFP food I feel great in many ways (full, psychologically better knowing the food is healthy) –When I eat white carbs, I feel the opposite-hungry & annoyed at myself for “feeding” into junk!
