Just sharing some farmer #FanMail - from a market customer (Paul) to his favorite Real Organic Project farm! 💚 "This is the actual email I have just sent @green_gate_family_farm - I don’t know them personally, nor do they know me, but I felt I needed to send this. Your certification of Real Organic is in the right place with this farm. Thank you for what you do to promote such awareness and transparency. Here is what I sent Ken and Katie: Dear Ken and Katie, I have purchased your food for several years through the Brookside Farmers Market. Recently, I have returned to school and am using SNAP assistance and have purchased from you even this past Saturday. I can’t thank you enough for what you have done to repeatedly produce such wonderful food and to do so in a truly organic fashion. I was overjoyed to have learned of the Real Organic Project some time ago and then to have seen the label on your website just recently. Thank you again ! Sincerely, Paul C 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 #knowyourfarmer #loveyourfarmer #realfood #soilgrown #pastureraised #chemicalfree (fb)
