claire,
I'm
a
minnesota

corps,
member
serving
with
the
city
of
minneapolis,
solid

and
I'm
just
here
to
tune
in.
I
was
on

before
a
lot
of
turnover,
so
I'm
excited
to
hear
what
y'all
have
in

and
I'll
be

To

AA
Do
you
mind
if
I
just
yeah
hi?
My
name
is
theresa.
I'm
sorry.
I
got
kicked
off
just
a
minute
ago,
so
hopefully
I'm
back
on,
but
therese
hill
I'll
be
talking
further
down
the
agenda
about
a
collaborative
program
that
I
work
on.
But
my
my
title
or
my
you
know,
professional
work
is
as
an
engagement
manager
with
mhealth
fairview
and
I
work
primarily
on
their
food
access
programming,
so
excited
to
be
here.
A
A
The
internet,
where
everybody's
online
and
things
just
get
a
little
wonk
so
I'll,
probably
be
off
camera,
but
you
can
hear
me
yeah.
We
can
hear
you
sorry
about
that.
So
yeah,
we'll
pre.
So
I'll
read
that
again,
just
to
make
sure
you
heard
me:
okay,
so
we'll
proceed
with
the
agenda,
a
copy
of
which
was
posted
for
public
access
to
the
city's
legislation,
legislative
information
management
system,
which
is
available
at
l-I-m-s,
dot,
minneapolis,
mn.gov
and
I'll.

Y
Y
Q
A
A
B
AB
AB
You
know
the
the
it's:
it's
really
like
the
state
of
your
farmers
markets
kind
of
reports
every
year
that
we're
we're
able
to
share
the
matrix
project
you
know
has
been
going
on
since
2016
and
it
really
has
been.
You
know
only
made
possible
through
the
strong
leadership
of
homegrown
minneapolis
office
in
camera,
and
I'm
really
grateful
that
that
we're
able
to
continue
this
really
important
work.
AB
One
of
the
things
that
we've
been
doing
with
the
metrics
collection
method
that
we've
kind
of
developed
over
there
years
with
the
managers,
is
to
look
at
the
markets
in
a
holistic
way.
So
we
collect
information
from
the
vendors
we
collect
informations
from
the
visitors.
We
also
collect
information
from
the
managers
and
when
you
know
2020
season
came
around
and
we
realized
that
we
couldn't
be
in
person
we
had
to
adapt
and
and
so
manager
survey,
which
was
already
online.
AB
So
it's
been
a
little
bit
of
a
modified
model
in
the
picture
you
see
brian,
who
was
able
to
help
us
with
all
the
at
the
markets
in
minneapolis
this
summer
season,
so
you
may
have
ran
into
him
collecting
information
from
you
as
well,
and
so
next
slide.
Please!
Here's
like
the
history
of
the
scope
of
participation
in
in
minneapolis,
and
it's
really
nice
to
finally
able
to
see
a
time
series
evolution
of
how
this
is
happening.
AB
So
a
couple
of
highlights,
and
we
shared
last
month
we
shared
with
the
managers
like
more
of
a
complete
history,
starting
from
2017
on,
but
here
I'm
sharing
just
like
how
2021
compares
to
the
last
normal
season,
which
was
2019
and
also
including
the
2020,
which
was
like,
of
course,
an
oddball
to
all.
So
last
year,
when
I
reported
in
the
2020
metrics,
we
had
a
very
optimistic
number,
partly
because
we
were
relying
a
lot
on
the
self-reported
numbers
from
the
markets.
AB
AB
AB
I
I
actually
tried
to
change
the
question
on
asking
about
the
business
owned
by
women
this
year
and
I
accidentally
forced
like
a
person
to
to
answer
whether
they
they
wanted
to
self-describe
their
business
as
a
woman,
woman,
owned
or
minority
owned,
or
first
generation
or
multi-generation
and
so
forth,
and
so
we
got
a
much
smaller
response,
which
is
not
comparable
to
the
years
in
the
past.
What
I
wanted
to
point
out
was
the
average
percent
of
primary
decision
makers
under
35
years
of
age
is
very
steady.
AB
So
it's
still
a
very
young
vendors
that
that
we
are
supporting
in
our
farmers
markets,
and
you
can
also
see
the
percent
vendors
color,
which
is
much
higher
than
than
the
percentage
of
farmers
of
color
in
in
agricultural
census,
for
example.
So
we
are
really
supporting
young
and
diverse
vendors
in
our
community.
AB
AB
Was
you
know
what
the
what
the
percentage
of
total
household
income
that
these
vendors
rely
on
farmer's
market
business
and
we
have
a
number
which
is
32,
which
kind
of
puts
this
average
sales
number
into
perspective
in
terms
of
the
the
livelihood
and
then
also
we
always
have
asked
like.
You
know
what
percentage
of
farmers
who
are
only
selling
through
farmers
markets,
but
we've
never
asked
about
the
sales
revenue
share
from
farmers
market
in
a
typical
year,
and
now
we
also
have
that
number
which
is
55.
AB
AB
AB
A
one
thing,
additional
question
that
we
asked
in
2021
was
about
their
conservation
farming
practices,
and
I
am
so
glad
that
we
asked,
because
you
see
the
numbers
in
in
the
first
column,
where
these
are
percentage
of
farming
vendors,
who
are
following
these
environmentally
friendly
practices
like
cover
crops
or
doing
rotational
management,
intensive
grazing
and
so
forth,
and
on
the
right
right,
most
column.
I'm
pulling
these
numbers
for
the
minnesota
agricultural
census
and
you
you're
just
like
floored
at
how
responsively
environmental
stewards,
these
farming
vendors,
who
are
at
the
farmers
market.
AB
In
just
two
more
slides
with
now
highlights
from
the
visitors
metrics
so
now
in
2021
we
have
some
visitors
metrics
again,
we
always
like
to
ask
you
know
the
number
one
reasons
for
the
visit,
because,
especially
years
leading
up
to
the
pandemic,
there
was
a
huge
proportion
of
or
or
greater
than
what
you
think
of
proportion
of
visitors
who
were
there
to
just
experience
the
market
to
try
it
out
not
to
spend
their
money.
But
we
have
noticed
in
20
2021
and
we
we
we've.
AB
We
kind
of
expected
this
from
what
we
heard
from
the
vendors
that
the
visitors
who
were
there
at
the
farmers
market
were
there
to
support
them
and
to
buy
their
products.
And
we
see
this
number.
If
you
compare
it,
which
I'm
sorry
I
don't,
I
don't
have
it
but
like
compared
to
2019.
For
example,
we
have
a
greater
number
of
visitors
who
are
saying
that,
yes,
the
number
one
reason
is
to
to
buy
by
the
market
and
it's
reflected
in
the
average
spending
that
they're
saying
at
the
market.
AB
This
one
I
I
did
put
the
time
series
in
there
for
for
your
reference,
but
it
is
the
highest
yet
in
2021,
where
the
average
respondents
are
saying
that
they're
spending
over
25,
this
is
still
lower
than
say,
like
numbers
that
I've
seen
reported
in
the
state
of
maine.
For
example,
they
have
a
farmer's
market
average
statewide
and
it
was
close
to
30.
So
I
think
we
can
do
better,
but
this
is
definitely
a
significant
improvement.
AB
And
so
even
though
farmers
market,
you
know,
serve
multiple
roles
for
the
patrons
or
the
for
the
residents
as
a
whole.
This
local
food
access
seems
to
be
the
most
resonating
primary
goals,
and
so
with
that,
thanks
again
for
letting
me
be
involved
in
this
farmer's
market
work-
and
I
am
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
hicaru,
any
questions,
anything
that
stood
out
anything
that
struck.
You
was
a
lot
of
data.
I
happen
to
be
very
close
to
this
work,
so
I
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
that
has
six
years
now
right.
He
grew
six
years
of
dating
worth
of
data
to
be
able
to
show
the
economic
impacts
of
farmers,
markets
in
the
twin
cities
and
beyond
at
some
point
right.
They
walked
so.
A
AB
A
AB
L
I
I
do
have
one
question
if
I
could
yes
sure
thank
you
for
the
presentation
that
was
really
interesting
information,
I'm
wondering
if
there
were
any
recommendations
you
would
would
put
out
to
the
group
here.
I'm
thinking
of
things
like
you
know,
should
we
be
making
recommendations
for
managing
farmers
markets
that
have
you
know
less
vendors
kind
of
referring
to
what
you
were
talking
about
with
with
a
note
to
try
to
increase.
L
AB
So
one
of
the
things
that
that
we
have
been
since
this
is
you
know
really
in
full
collaboration
with
the
managers
that
we,
like
whatever
I
am
so
sorry
for
the
dog,
whatever
whatever
strategy
we
wanted
to
take,
we
want
that
to
be
realized
through
you
know,
decisions
of
the
managers,
and
so
I
I
can't
imagine
like
the
city
or
the
community
coming
up
and
saying
that
hey
this
is
like
an
optimal.
You
know
size
for
your
market
or
whatnot.
AB
We
want
those
decisions
to
organically
come
from
at
the
market
level,
but
that
said,
like
all,
managers
are
seeing
what
their
numbers
are
and
how
they
compare
to
the
the
citywide
number
and-
and
you
know,
we're
happy
to
have
conversations
with
the
managers
kind
of
thinking.
Like
hey.
You
know
my.
My
vendors
are
reporting
lower
than
lower
average
sales
than
than
the
city-wide.
Is
there
anything
that
we
could
do
in
in
we're
happy
to
be?
In
a
conversation
like
that.
D
I
could
say
we
are
all
very
committed
to
raising
the
raising
all
the
things
for
our
vendors
and
so
we're
constantly
strategizing
about
how
to
do
that,
how
to
do
it
together,
how
to
support
each
other.
What
you
know
what
works
for
each
of
our
markets,
because
they're
all
somewhat
different,
so
yeah?
This
information
has
been
incredibly
useful
for
that.
W
W
AB
Yes,
so
one
of
the
things
that
we've
we've
done
actually
in
2021
was
us.
At
the
same
time,
we
collected
information
from
the
markets
in
the
city.
We
also
had
similar
metrics
collected
from
the
southeastern
part
of
the
state,
and
so
we
had
like
a
regional
cohort
and
one
of
the
ideas
of
you
know,
kathy
zieman
of
minnesota,
farmer's
market
association
is
that
she
really
wants
to
take
this
metric
statewide
so
that
she
can
really
have
a
you
know:
a
collective
impact
of
the
farmers
markets
at
the
city
level.
AB
I'm
you
know
more
than
happy
to
take.
My
you
know
explain
that
the
data
that
we've
collected
and
do
it,
if
you,
if
you
see
the
a
benefit
I
I
do
think
that
you
know
since
farmer's
market,
is
it's
such
a
a
foundational
institution
and
assets
to
the
to
the
community's
food
system,
that
I'm
sure
there
are
additional
audiences
that
could
be,
but
but
we've
been
in,
you
know,
conversation
with
mgh
and
mda
about
about
our
work
and
and
so
they're.
Definitely
aware
of
it.
W
A
N
U
Yeah
thanks
hi
karu,
I
just
I
know
tamara
had
been
working
on
what
like
sustainable
funding
to
continue
the
data
gathering
because,
like
you
said,
like
you're
finally
getting
to
a
point,
we
have
good
trend
data
and
we
know
that
the
last
few
years
are
really
impacted
by
the
pandemic.
You
know
for
different
reasons.
AA
U
I
just
don't
know
if
you're
able
to
share
a
little
bit
about
like
how
how
how
we're
sustaining
it,
because
I
think
you
know
that's
another
space
where
recommendations
are
important
because
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
gather
the
data.
So
if
you
have
anything
like
that,
you
could
share
or
that
we
could
be.
You
know
I'm
supportive
of,
as
as
the
council.
U
AB
AB
You
know
a
little
bit
here
and
there,
but
we
have
been
able
to
to
support
the
fund
the
way
that
our
metrics
collection
has
kind
of
evolved
is
that
we,
you
know,
I
we
we
kind
of
have
figured
out
like
what
the
cost
is,
and
so
we
we
know
like
exactly
what
the
cost
is
as
a
cost
recovery
service
to
to
the
communities
or
the
markets
that
that
want
the
metrics
and
so
yeah.
I
I
think
it
we,
the
funding
form
is,
is
definitely
one
thing.
AB
I'm
currently
writing
a
grant
to
the
institute
on
the
environment
impacts
goal
to
see.
If
they,
you
know,
if
they
would
the
way
we're
pitching
it
is
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
expand
on
the
metro
area
to
the
greater
minnesota
idea,
but
just
different
ways
of
of
seeking
in
and
yes,
a
more
permanent
way
of
funding.
This
work
would
be
amazing,
because
you
know.
AA
T
AB
Yeah,
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
been
collecting
regularly
is
for
vendors
that
sell
farm
products
like
what
percentage
of
them
have
been
involved
in
food
donation
after
the
market
and
also
as
a
follow-up
on
whether
they
they
actually
donated
for
a
tax
benefit
or
they
declined,
even
though
they
know
that
it
existed
or
they
just
weren't.
Aware
of
it,
and
one
of
the
things
that
and
thank
you
for
asking
this,
because
one
of
the
things
that
I
do
find
it
disturbing
is
over
the
years.
AB
The
percentage
of
vendors
who
have
donated
but
have
declined
to
receive
the
tax
benefit
is
actually
really
increasing,
and
I
I
have
a
feeling
that
it's
probably
because
the
system
is
broken
so
that
there's
no
incentive
for
vendors
to
take
advantage
of
that
and
so
like.
If
the
purpose
really
is
to
encourage
you
know,
farm
vendors
to
donate,
so
that
we're
all
better
about
sharing
all
of
this,
I
think
there
needs
to
be
a
review
of
that
regulation,
because
it's
it's
clearly
not
it's
not
incentivizing
and
it's
it's
not
working
as
a
trend.
C
A
No,
I
don't
see
none
all
right.
Thank
you
again,
I'm
so
excited
for
the
next
phase
of
this
work.
It's
been
amazing
to
watch
it
evolve
and
really
be
able
to
tell
the
story
of
the
economic
impacts
of
farmers
markets.
I
think
our
initial
goal
was
to
become
a
line
item
in
the
mayor's
budget.
Right
like
how
do
we
fund
farmers
markets
in
a
way,
that's
sustainable,
it
really
doesn't
cost
much
when
you
really
look
at
the
cost
benefit
analysis
right.
We
got
the
folks
who
can
who
can
do
that?
A
W
A
Oh
juliet,
I
see
it
sorry
about
that.
Thank
you,
patty.
I
sit
on
the
board
of
the
northeast
minneapolis
farmer's
market.
We
would
like
to
increase.
What
can
I
see
the
whole
chat
there
we
go.
We
would
like
to
increase
diversity
representation
on
our
board
to
better
serve
our
vendor
base.
But
despite
multiple
efforts,
we
are
unable
to
make
much
headway.
Do
you
have
any
insights
or
suggestions?
So
it
looks
like
a
question
from
julie,
northeast
farmers
markets
about
increasing
the
diversity
representation
on
your
board.
AB
AB
But
but
I
think
it's
not
just
your
market.
I
think
a
lot
of
the
markets
are
kind
of
self-reflect
to
want
to
make
sure
that
the
board
looks
like
the
the
vendors
in
the
communities
that
they
serve
and
so
right
now
I
don't
have
any
insights,
but
I,
but
I
do
have
data
to
kind
of
see
what
what
the
baseline
is.
AB
I,
I
am
curious
to
know
like
what
are
some
of
the
efforts
that
that
that
your
that
your
market
has
done
in
order
to
try
to
increase
diversity.
I
mean
we.
We
do
hear
that
argument
that
you
know
if,
if
you,
if
you
are,
if
the
the,
if
the
role
of
of
a
coach
is
to
hire
somebody-
and
I
I
can't
remember-
I
am
not
paraphrasing
it
right,
but
but
I
I
think,
if
there's
a
will,
there
is
a
way
to
do
it.
AB
V
Yeah,
so
we
have
reached
out
to
bought
repair.
I
I
think
you
probably
have
heard
of
it.
We
have
not
gotten
a
lot
of
responses,
we're
thinking
of
reaching
out
to
vendors
in
our
market,
but
vendors
have
a
different
mindset.
You
know,
so
the
priority
is
viability
right,
so
we
are
not
sure.
If
we,
we
will
get
a
lot
of
good
response
from
that,
but
we
will
reach
out
to
them
as
well,
and
we
are
also
contemplating
reaching
out
to
vendors
who
are
not
at
our
market.
AB
V
A
A
AA
AC
AA
AC
So,
like
I
introduced
at
the
beginning,
my
name
is
therese
hill.
I
am
technically
employed
by
m
health
fairview,
but
my
work
over
the
last
five
years
has
been
primarily
on
the
east
side
of
st
paul
working
with
a
collaborative
project
called
east
side
table.
It's
made
up
of
13
different
partner
organizations
that
all
are
invested
and
work
deeply
with
east
side,
community
members
and
in
the
east
side
area
and
our
our
work
group
focus
on
access
to
healthy
foods,
specifically
through
the
development
of
new
food
skills.
AC
So
we
took
the
approach
of
designing
a
make
it
home
meal
kit
program
which
will
come
into
play
just
in
a
little
bit
here,
but
that
has
been
our
major
connection
with
community
members
over
on
the
east
side.
We've
also
done
a
lot
of
education
and
engagement
events,
community
meals.
We
do
monthly
workshops
for
monthly
cooking
classes
with
mississippi
market,
and
lots
of
you
know
other
fun
stuff.
AA
M
O
X
AC
AC
To
come
today
and
share
some
about
this
community
cook's
meal
box
program,
which
is
with
you,
know,
a
broader
set
of
partner
organizations,
and
I
was
definitely
going
to
keep
it
pretty
informal.
I
put
together
this
presentation
today,
so
I'm
much
more.
You
know
talking
more
about
like
the
programmatic
side
of
things
and
what
we're
up
to
with
the
mailbox
program.
So
I
would,
as
we
you
know,
just
as
devon
was
just
mentioning
you
know,
feel
free
to
like
share
input
or
come
off
and
ask
questions
as
we
go.
AC
So
I
would
welcome
you
both
to
you
know,
chime
in
and
share
as
I
go
along,
the
next
screen
should
be
all
of
our
partners,
so
the
mailbox
program
was
started
summer
of
2020
when
we
were
seeing
the
increased
you
know,
highlighted
and
increased
needs
around
food
access
and
community
members
due
to
the
pandemic
and
and
uprisings
that
were
happening
in
both
of
the
twin
cities.
We
were
also
connected
closely
with
the
good
acre
and
some
local
growers
talking.
AC
You
know,
looking
specifically
at
this
expected
overage
of
produce
based
on
the
closing
of
institutional
accounts
and
reese
williams
always
talked
about
it
as
a
produce
that
you
know
needed
to
find
a
home
which
I
loved,
and
so
those
two
you
know
those
two
opportunities
like
sitting
in
our
hands.
These
partners
came
together
to
talk
about
like
what
could
we
do
as
far
you
know
to
create
some
avenue
for
this
really
really
great
locally
grown
produce?
That
is
now
going
to
be
looking
for
a
home.
AC
How
can
we
support
the
farmers
at
this
time
by
purchasing
this
and
creating
an
outlet
for
this
great
produce
to
get
to
community
members,
hands
that
either
need
it
or,
or
you
know,
want
it
and
eastside
table?
Having
had
some
past
experience
with
creating
this
make
at
home
meal
kit
program?
So
thinking
about
not
just
you
know,
csa's
or
veggie
boxes
or
veggie,
you
know
fruit
and
veggie
produce
distributions.
But
how
are
you
pairing
that
produce
with
locally
produced
or
locally
sourced
proteins
and
pantry
staple
items
and
then
offering
some
suggested
recipes?
AC
So,
in
addition
to
a
box
of
food
and
staples,
there's
also
this
engagement
opportunity,
so
it
felt
really.
You
know
the
time
felt
really
right
for
this
kind
of
like
engaging
meal
box,
where
we
could
continue
some
connection
with
community
members
that
we
work
with,
while
also
offering
increased.
You
know
food
access,
so
the
partners
that
we've
that
we
work
with
very
closely
with
appetite
for
change.
So
there's
our
they're,
a
major
partner
in
the
the
west
metro,
north
minneapolis.
The
good
acre
is
our
main
source
for
that
locally
grown
produce.
AC
AA
AC
The
idea
I
loved
this
this
is
directly
from
jenny's
presentation,
so
I
did
not
type
this
beautiful
sentiment,
but
I
always
I
do
talk
about
the
meal
box
program
where,
like
at
the
heart,
it's
really
about
getting
good
healthy
food
into
community
members
homes
into
their.
You
know
their
meal
plans
for
the
week
into
their
kitchens
into
their
stomachs,
but
there
are
so
many
other
layers
to
this
program
around
supporting
a
farmer
and
grower.
You
know
local
farmer
and
growers
of
ipod
farmers,
local.
AC
You
know:
yeah
local
farmers,
local
growers
around
some
youth
leadership,
youth,
workforce
development,
job
stability,
food
skill,
development,
this
this
food
and
nutrition,
education,
as
well
as
the
food
access.
So
you
know,
through
these
meal
boxes
through
the
packing
of
these
meal
boxes,
we're
able
to
sports
and
all
these
all
these
other
ways.
AC
So
the
community
participants
74
identify
as
non-white
average
household
size
of
four
33
of
meal
box.
Participants
live
the
local
poverty
line
and
64
were
worried
about
having
enough
food
to
see
their
families
and
36
reported
experiencing
weeks
when
there
was
not
enough
food
to
feed
their
family
and
not
enough
money
so
using
those
hunger
vital
signs
just
to
ask
about
food
security
and
then
the
rates
for
food
insecurity.
AC
These
rates,
for
you
know
in
the
communities
that
that
we
work
primarily
in
the
east
side
of
saint
paul
and
then
north
minneapolis.
In
addition
to
some
other
metro,
you
know
cedar
riverside
and
some
other
pockets
in
the
metro
area.
These
are
high.
You
know
higher
rates
of
food
and
security
than
the
state
average.
AC
This
is
an
old
graphic,
so
it's
a
little
bit
outdated.
Just
maybe
it's
just
not
still
appropriate.
It's
still
correct,
but
it's
a
little
outdated,
maybe
in
the
the
actual
graphic.
So
the
idea
of
it
was
to
create
the
the
idea
of
the
community.
Cook's
meal
box
program
was
to
essentially
collaboratively
design
and
implement,
but
create
a
product
that
you
know
the
court.
The
collaborative
made.
AC
The
main
partners
coordinating
this
product,
we're
sourcing,
we're
putting
you
know
working
on
the
recipes,
we're
we're
doing
a
lot
of
that
leg,
work
to
put
together
this
healthy,
exciting.
You
know,
culturally
specific
recipe,
everything
that
you
need
to
to
make
these
meals
at
home
meal
box
and
then
identifying
community
partners
to
act
as
distribution
partners.
So
for
our
for
our
first
year
in
2020.
You
know
that
right
at
the
you
know,
height
of
the
growing
season
we
kicked
off
in
august
of
2020..
AC
The
major
distribution
partners
were
on
the
east
side
of
saint
paul
through
east
side,
table
partners
appetite
for
change
in
north
minneapolis,
and
then
we
had
some
within
the
fairview
health
ml
fairview
system
with
some
clinics.
So
those
are
our
original
distribution
partners,
but
throughout
the
you
know,
and
then
last
year
that
grew,
and
so
the
idea
was
that
we
were
creating
this
product
and
and
and
then
off.
AC
You
know
having
it
be
available
for
additional
partners
if
they
saw
a
good
fit
for
the
community
that
they
work
with,
and
that
was
intentional
in
the
sense
that
while
we
are
all
collaboratively
identifying
the
recipes
and
picking
ingredients
and
talking
through
the
materials
that
are
included,
we
we
allow
that
individuality.
As
far
as
like,
how
does
your
the
community
members
that
you
work
with?
How
do
they
best
receive?
You
know,
support
like
this?
Is
it
pickup?
Is
it?
Is
it
individual
delivery?
AC
AC
AC
It's
got
a
cute
little
blue
dot.
So
what
would
come
in
the
box?
Is
this
one's?
Maybe
not
the
best
example,
because
we
had
already
sent
all
of
these
ingredients.
So
the
idea
is
that
if
somebody
would
enroll
in
the
program,
the
plan
is
a
30-week
round,
so
it
would
start
when
the
growing
season
really
kicked
off
in
minnesota
and
then
run
through
the
end
of
the
year
and
as
they
receive
the
boxes,
they
not
only
get
that
immediate.
AC
You
know
food
that
fresh
produce
proteins,
but
they'd
also
get
the
the
pantry
staple
items
so
the
different
spices
and
oils
vinegars,
and
then
some
you
know,
storage
like
eggs
and
onions.
You
know
things
that
store
pretty
well,
and
so
the
idea
is
that
it
builds
on
itself
throughout
the
year,
and
so
they
get
some
of
those
fresh
ingredients
that
come
in
their
weekly
boxes,
but
then
they've
also
been
building
their
pantry
through
participation.
AC
In
the
program
so
for
this
week
you
know
we
sent
the
lamb,
we
sent
the
fresh
produce,
we
sent
the
perishable
yogurt,
but
we
had
also
already
sent
cumin
and
paprika
and
cinnamon
and
chili
powder.
We
were
told
that
you
know
very
clearly
a
couple
times
like
stop
something
garlic.
So
you
know:
they'd
have
the
garlic,
olive
oil,
salt,
pepper
and
then
they'd
be
able
to
make
that
recipe
at
home.
It
was
also
just
a
suggestion.
You
know.
If
somebody
had
up
you
know
they
were
well
welcome.
AC
Obviously,
but
you
know
we
heard
from
a
lot
of
people
that
they
just
appreciated
the
ingredients
and
that
they
used
them
in
their
own
way.
But
then
we
also
included
tips
and
tricks
on
the
dishes
on
the
actual
ingredients,
and
we
would
always
highlight
a
partner
or
a
grower.
So
there's
two
recipes
in
each
meal
box,
one
with
an
animal
protein
and
one
vegetarian,
and
so
one
one
recipe
card
would
have
the
partner
spotlight
and
then
the
other
one
would
have
the
grower
spotlight
and
we
always
included
our
mission
around
the
program.
AA
AC
AC
The
one
thing
I
will
say
about
that
is
well
I'll
talk
about
it
in
another,
a
couple
slides
too,
but
wanting
to
pay
very
appropriate
prices
for
for
the
products
that
we're
sourcing.
So
it's
not
necessarily
about
t-fat,
or
you
know,
minimizing
the
cost
for
these
boxes.
We
really
want
to
support
and
uphold
the
local
food
system
that
we
have
by
paying.
You
know
appropriate.
AC
You
know
life-sustaining
prices
for
these
beautiful,
you
know
locally
grown
produce
and
so
part
of
like
the
fundraising
and
the
heart
of
this
program
is
building
it
into
the
cost
of
these
boxes.
So
it's
the
real.
You
know
the
true
cost,
I
will
say
sorry
the
true
cost
of
the
boxes.
At
this
point
they
are
100
subsidized
for
community
members
for
participation,
so
the
fundraising
comes
from
the
partner
organization
and
they're
just
raising
money
for
their
their
distribution
groups,
but
coming
up
too.
AC
So
I
will
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
financial
sustainability.
Last
year
we
had
a
larger
group
with
an
average
of
783
participating
households
per
week
we
purchased
just
under
100
000
pounds
of
local
produce.
We
don't
have
our
full
analysis
of
our
of
our
pre
and
post
surveys,
so
I
don't
have
information
yet
on
the
metrics
that
we
track
one
being
the
development
of
new
food
skills
and
the
questions
that
are
asked
really
get
at
like
how
do
you
feel
more
comfortable
cooking
at
home?
Do
you
unders?
AC
You
know,
do
you
feel
comfortable
breaking
down?
You
know
whole
fruits
and
vegetables
and
following
recipes
and
I'm
thinking
about
that
in
this
sense,
helping
to
increase
access
to
healthy
food
if
you're,
comfortable,
cooking,
more
meals
at
home
and
learning
budget
tips
and
being
able
to
break
down.
You
know
cook
from
raw
ingredients
and
then
the
using
the
hunger
vital
signs
to
screen
for
food
security,
both
pre
and
post.
AC
But
I
did
include
some
quotes
because
we
hear
from
participants
all
the
time
about
this
program
being
fun
and
and
helpful
so
two
of
my
favorite
ones
and
then
for
2022
as
we
kick
off
this
year,
and
you
can
stop
me
if
we're
running
out
of
time.
I
know
we
were
getting
a
little
bit
later,
but
for
this
year
we
are
planning
for
1500
meal
boxes
per
week
for
30
weeks.
So
when
I
calculate
that
out,
you
know
about
540
000
meals
distributed
in
2022.
AC
we've
contracted
with
local
growers,
for
just
you
know,
for
over
300
000.
I
think
320
000
worth
of
locally
grown
produce,
so
160
pounds
to
be
included
in
these
meal
boxes
and
go
up
to
community
members.
I
specifically
want
to
call
out
that
contracting
piece,
because
it's
really
it's
a
big.
You
know
I
it's
a
learning
place
for
me
and
a
really
cool
opportunity
for
us
to
like
actually
support
the
local
food
system.
AC
You
know
understanding
how
farmers,
how
growers
think,
through
their
years,
get
ready
for
their
seasons
and
to
be
able
to
create
some
of
that
consistency
or
or
what's
sort
of
like
confirmation
that
this
is
going
to
be
accounts.
This
is
going
to
be
an
outlet
for
the
produce
that
you're
growing
and
as
a
large
health
care
system.
You
know
this
being
a
a
project
that
we're
we're
involved
with
that
we're
helping
to
coordinate
and
like
deep.
AC
You
know
really
closely
connected
to
these
are
like
really
cool
learnings
or
examples
that
I
can
bring
back
to
a
large
institution
who
want
you
know,
acting
as
an
institution
in
the
twin
cities
and
in
the
states
to
talk
about
how
do
we
source
from
local
growers
and
that
you
know
we
work.
You
work
this
far
ahead.
You
work
months
ahead.
You
can't
con
contract
with
them.
You
help
buy
seeds.
AC
We
will
be
connecting
with
youth
that
they
work
with
to
offer
really
well
paying
part-time
work
throughout
this
year.
This
workforce
development
piece
is
in
addition
to
offering
well-paying
hours
while
paying
part-time
work
to
work
out.
You
know
to
pack
this
meal
box
some
meal
boxes
and
to
work
within
this
program,
we're
also
offering
some
workforce
development,
programming
or
training
throughout
the
year
so
each
month
the
youth
are
also
welcome
or
invited
to
come
to
different
training
or
enrichment
opportunities.
You
know
site
visits
with
some
of
our
larger
partners.
AC
You
know
costco
3m,
the
good
acre
well
else.
Some
of
the
like
credentials
are
training.
Specific
training
trainings
like
serve
safe
and
osha
10,
so
offering
these
opportunities.
So
as
these
are
working
throughout
the
year
in
the
meal
box,
program
they're
also
experiencing
or
are
receiving
these
other
credentials
so
that
they
end
up
at
the
end
of
the
year,
really
well
positioned
to
find
find
well-paying
work
within
the
food
system
or
in
the
cities.
We're
also
piloting
one
financial
sustainability.
AC
You
know
option
where
we're
looking
at
a
buy
box,
give
a
box
so
there's
two
ways
that
we're
thinking
about
this
one
is
boxes
being
available
through
local
retailers
like
mississippi
market,
but
it
would
be
at
two
times
the
market
rate
for
the
boxes
with
really.
You
know
clear
information
that
this
is
what
you're
supporting
and
that
your
purchase
of
this
box
is
then
supporting
another
box
for
a
community
member
that
that
might
need
it
fully
subsidized
and
then
also
engaging
with
individual
donors.
AC
You
know
in
our
budget
on
paper,
are
much
more
expensive
than
an
a
different
food
distribution
option.
If
you're
working
with
you
know
conventionally
grown
or
commodity
foods
or
tsap
or
rescue.
But
but
you
know
what
we,
what
we're
saying,
what
we're
feeling
about
it,
the
the
you
know,
life-sustaining
wages
or
purchases
from
that
for
that
local
produce
working
with
local
protein
local
producers
for
a
lot
of
the
items
that
are
going
in
there.
You
know,
including
this,
including
the
education
components.
AC
You
know
working
within
the
health
care
system
and
seeing
you
know
offering
this
as
a
way
of
of
impacting
some
of
those
health
complications
that
that
individuals
might
be
experiencing,
that
could
be
influenced
by
a
healthier
diet.
You
know
really
trying
to
to
paint
that
picture
of
what
the
you
know.
AC
Or
you
know
snap
eligible
a
lot
of
the
east
side
table
partners.
You
know,
I
think,
of
urban
roots
and
some
of
the
you
know
farmers,
markets
and
mississippi
market
like
how
can
we
put
these
on
the
shelf
and
make
them
available
for
individuals
to
purchase
with
their
snack
benefits,
social
enterprise
and
thinking
about
appetite
for
change
and
like
how
you
know
how
great
they
are
at
like
social
enterprises
and
thinking
through
that
as
a
model,
and
so
that
you
know
kind
of
that
buy
a
box
give
a
box
program?
AC
AC
You
can't
hear
us
did
I
close
the
sharing
thing,
though?
Yes,
you
did
yes,
okay,
you're,
good,
yeah,
yeah,
so
yeah,
so
again,
much
more
like
programmatic
or
just
what
we're
up
to
over
there,
but
I
think
you
know
I
I
was
invited
to
come
speak
about
it.
We're
really
excited
about
where
we're
going
in
this
year.
It's
going
to
be
the
largest.
You
know
the
largest
group
of
participants
that
we've
had
so
to
date
we're
super
jazzed
about
the
you
know
the
senate
foundation
and
this
youth
workforce
development
piece.
AC
You
know
appetite
for
change,
they're,
going
to
be
employing
their.
Why
top
program
they're
used
in
the
wipe
top
program
to
pack
to
repack
some
of
those
pantry
staple
items-
and
you
know
thinking
through
some
really
exciting
ways
to
engage
them
around
designing.
You
know
like
a
special
spice
blend,
that
we
highlight
in
a
couple
different
weeks
and
it's
from
the
y
top
program
in
appetite
for
change.
We've
done
some
community
sourcing
of
recipes.
AC
You
know
trying
to
match,
since
it
is
one
standard
box
that
goes
out
each
week,
trying
to
match
we're
trying
to
balance
this.
You
know
recognizing
culturally
significant
dishes
for
the
community
members
that
participate
in
the
program,
while
also
trying
new
dishes
from
you
know
your
neighbors
or
your
you
know,
fellow
community
members
in
in
the
twin
cities
area,
so
always
looking
for
fun
new
recipes
to
like
work
with
these
local
ingredients.
So
I
can
stop
talking
now
and
I'm
happy
to
continue
talking
or
you
can
reach
out
to
me
later.
A
This
is
great.
This
is
great
information
to
reason
great,
to
see
the
impacts
of
the
program.
I
see
a
question
in
the
chat
from
kevin.
How
are
participants
connected
to
the
program
initially
through
primary
care
visits,
great
question,
and
I
can't
wait
to
hear
the
answer,
because
I'm
gonna
let
therese
talk
about.
AC
Yeah,
so
there's
there's,
because
we,
you
know
thinking
about
these
meal
boxes
as
being
a
collaboratively
designed
product
and
then
allowing
distribution
partners
to
think
through
how
like
what
distribution
model
or
what
method
works
best
for
their
organization
and
the
community
that
they
work
with.
So
it
varies
based
on,
like
you
know,
who
is
distributing
them.
AC
We
also
recruit
through
enroll,
like
through
our
partner
organization,
so
again,
there's
13
different
partner
organizations
that
make
up
the
east
side
table.
You
know
community
dental
care
clues
american
indian
family
center,
and
so
we
just
talked
with
them
about.
You
know
how
many
enrollees
that
they're
they
think
they
would
want
this
year
and
then
you
know
allow
them
to
maintain
that
connection
with
participants.
We're
really
just
supporting
by
you
know,
fundraising
putting
the
box
together.
AC
You
know
getting
them
out
to
community
members
and
then
to
your
question
so
that
the
rx
programs-
yes,
are,
that
are
through
primary
care.
I
mean
it
happens.
The
same.
You
know
the
same
thing.
The
same
sentiment
that
I
was
just
sharing
is
that
it
oftentimes
looks,
looks
different
based
on
the
patient
and
the
clinic
and
the
relationship
with
staff.
So
sometimes,
if
there's
a
diabetes
educator
on
staff,
you
know
oftentimes
they'll,
just
have
a
good.
You
know.
AC
Good
rapport
with
the
patient
and
they'll
they'll
be
able
to
offer
these
programs,
but
the
idea
is
that
primary
care
providers
are
screening
for
food
insecurity
at
well
visit
threat
at
visits
and
then
matching.
You
know,
food
potential.
You
know
food
security
need
with
health
complications
that
would
be
influenced
by
a
healthier
diet
and
then
they
would
be.
You
know
eligible
for
these
programs,
but
oftentimes,
that's
much
more
of
a
personal.
You
know
they
have
a
personal
relationship
with
the
patient
or
they
they
would
recommend
them
for
the
program
in
other
ways,.
A
D
Yeah
I
just
was
gonna
thanks
I'll,
be
really
quick.
I'll
just
add
to
what
teresa
is
saying
is
that
I
think
the
fact
that
a
major
healthcare
organization,
major
health
foundation,
is
backing
this
financially
and
investing
in.
It
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
engage
healthcare
in
more
of
this
kind
of
work,
and
so
that's
a
conversation.
That's
ongoing.
D
G
G
It's
really
a
grass
root
effort
that
really
makes
it
stick
in
places
like
chicago
farmland,
ogden
and
things
like
that
new
york.
One
thing
I
one
question
I
had
about.
The
only
thing
I
was
wondering
about
was
when
it
comes
to
growers
right,
you
know
me,
I'm
a
urban
and
a
rural
farmer,
you
know
is
the
csa
model.
You
know
there
are
different
variations
of
sears
and
model,
but
what
are
the?
What
are
the
repercussions
for
not
being
able
to
meet?
You
know
the
fruit
of
your
labor.
G
AC
I
well
we
worked
as
a
good
acre,
so
our
major
partners
that
you
know
steve
from
the
good
acre
works
very
closely
with
the
the
farmers
to
to
put
the
contracts
in
place
for
this
mailbox
program.
But
knowing
last
year
and
some
you
know
some
of
the
challenges
around
the
the
growing
season
and
the
weather
and
drought
and
there
you
know,
we've
heard
that
there
was
hail
and
it
you
know,
killed
the
last
tomato
crop
or
whatever,
and
so
we
would
just
have
to
be
pretty
nimble
on
what
we
were.
AC
You
know
our
the
program,
it's
a
little
different
than
a
csa
in
the
sense
that
we
also
pack
to
these
recipes.
So
if,
at
the
last
minute
we
had
a
switch
up
and
what
was
going
to
be
in
the
boxes,
we
had
to
adjust
those
recipe
cards
which
needed
to
be
printed
a
couple
days
ahead
of
time
with
the
meal
box
program.
We
were
very
happy
to
do
that,
and
so
we
just
went.
AC
We
go
into
the
program,
knowing
that
you
know
these
things
might
change
at
the
last
minute
or
and
we'll
need
to
adjust
the
recipe
or
include
a
little
note
saying,
like
hey
the
carrots
aren't
in
there
this
week.
You
know
we
sent
delicata
squash
instead
or
something
when
it
comes
to
this
yeah.
I
guess
that
I
don't
know
if
that's
answering
your
question.
AC
But
in
the
going
into
this
year-
and
this
is
the
year
that
we
have-
this
is
the
first
year
that
we'll
have
more
of
the
formal
contracts
and
it's
not
so
it's
not
necessarily
an
health
fairview
contract,
it's
working
through
the
good
acre
and
that
they've
contracted
for
this
this
amount.
You
know
323
000
worth
of
produce
that
this
program
will
be
purchasing.
So
we
could
definitely
tap
into
steve
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
that
might
be
written
into
a
contract.
AC
But
you
know
we
have
fundraise
for
that
amount
of
produce
and
we
will
buy
that
amount
of
produce
and
if
there
are
issues
with
the
growing
season
or
weather
related
incidents,
you
know
they
substitute
or
they
sub
in
a
different
item
and
we
we
juggle,
you
know
we
have
a
recipe
team
that
jenny's
on
you
know
when
we
meet
in
west
pretty
much.
What
we
do
is
we're
like.
Okay,
we
got
ground
beef.
AC
This
week
we
got
tomatillos,
we
got
jalapenos
like
what
are
we
doing
you
know,
and
then
we
look
at
what
can
we
get
for
pantry
staple
items?
And
you
know
like
what
could
mississippi
market
get
it's
going
to
be
an
interesting
year,
just
because
this
is
also
the
largest
group
that
we've
had.
You
know
not
light
lifting
and
so
there's
also
some
restraints
on
on.
AC
Being
able
to
work
with
those
local
producers,
you
know
like
yeah,
we
could
find
enough
of
stuff
and
that's
really
where
we
do
have
to
again
balance
it's
like.
Where
do
we
want
to
spend
our
dollars?
We
want
to
spend
our
dollars
with
local
growers.
We
want
to
spend
our
dollars
on
local
proteins
as
much
as
we
can.
So
you
know
we
might
make
concessions
around.
You
know.
AC
Where
are
we
getting
some
of
you
know
the
other
items
or
pantry
staples
or
grains
and
things
I
mean
we
love
working
with
mississippi
market
to
order
bulk,
grains,
bulk,
locally,
grown
grains
like
millet
and
things
like
that.
But
we
you
know,
and
then
there
was
a
question
to
the
box
cost
and
brandon
answered
it
in
here.
So
we're
also
always
trying
to
balance.
You
know,
you
know
how.
S
K
A
The
I'm
able
to
be
able
to
see
it.
So
thank
you
for
that.
So
there
was
a
question:
what
meal
costs
do
you
need,
or
is
that
the
first
one
yeah?
What
meal
cost?
Do
you
need
to
hit
per
meal
for
this
program?
There
was
a
response.
Community
partnerships
and
grassroots
relationships
go
a
long
way,
especially
culturally
specific
box
costs
can
vary.
A
box
can
go
anywhere
from
10
to
30
dollars,
depending
on
how
much
the
box
is
subsidized
and
there
was
another
additional
comment.
A
We
can
also
continue
to
use
these
types
of
experiences
as
opportunities
for
education
like
a
csa.
We
are
affected
by
what
is
available
and
what
and
it
keeps
us
connected
to
our
producers.
Thanks
for
those
comments
and
questions,
we
got
about
two
minutes
left
here.
If
they're,
if
you
had
a
response
or
if
anyone
else
had
a
comment
or
question
on
this
section,.
G
AC
L
L
AC
L
Got
it
okay,
I
was
just
curious
about,
like
you
know,
and
the
program
is
designed
to
be
30
weeks
like
what
happens
during
the
other.
You
know
22
weeks
a
year,
you
know
with
the
people,
maybe
getting
in
the
routine
of
having
this
great
box
come
in.
How
does
that?
What
happens
during
that
sort
of
gap
in
the
year.
AC
Program
because
so
many
of
our
partners
are
in
this
food
access,
food
distribution,
food,
justice,
world,
we
make
strong
connections
to
some
of
the
other
resources
that
are
available.
You
know
clues
does
weekly
food
distributions
merit
community
services
on
the
east
side
is
one
of
our
major
eastside
table
partners
with
some.
You
know
other
food
shelves
so
making
connections
to
the
existing
resources
that
are
available
year
round
and
then
and
part
of
as
we
move
into.
AC
You
know
as
this
program
like
kind
of
puts
down
its
roots
and
becomes
this
like
long-term
long-term
staying
around
program.
Having
really
interesting
conversations
about
how
we
do
address
that
that
you
know
we
live
in
minnesota,
the
growing
season
lasts
from
june
until
maybe
october
november,
when
storage
crops
start
running
out,
and
so
what
are
some
long-term
projects
or
possibilities
that
we
can
continue
to
collaborate
on?
I'm
getting
really
excited
thinking
about
some
local
processing.
AC
You
know
facility
where
we
purchase
this
local
produce
and
we
process
it
either
preserve
can
you
know,
freeze
and
and
then
be
able
to
use
it
year
round
in
the
meal
boxes?
You
know,
that's
not
happening,
that's
not
yet.
You
know
that's
just
a
brainstorm,
but
you
know
thinking
about
that.
The
other
thing
that
I
will
say
about
that
fairview.
You
know
the
rx
programs.
We
have
a
veggie
rx
program,
which
is
that
very
traditional
csa
model.
You
get
prescribed
the
csa
shares
and
we
work
with.
AC
You
know
culturally
appropriate
farmers
to
to
offer
those,
but
then
we
also
offer
like
a
market
rx
program
so
working
with
the
food
group
in
the
twin
cities,
mobile
market,
we
prescribe,
you
know
dollars
to
the
mobile
market
and
then
the
participants
are
able
to
they
get
dollars
per
month
to
go
use
at
either
the
twin
cities,
home
market
or
fear
for
all.
So
then,
just
identifying
other
partners
that
might
work.
You
know
beyond
those
30
weeks
and
think
about
those
as
connections
or
possible
possibilities.
A
You
know
it's
like
how
do
you
do
this
in
the
matrix,
we're
all
probably
zoomed
out
at
702,
but
we're
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we
create
spaces
and
opportunities
for
some
onboarding.
Some
questions,
just
kind
of
understanding,
the
the
culture
of
the
food
policy
council
and
the
work
of
the
food
policy
council,
and
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
grace
and
abdi
and
patty
to
we
got
a
little
trivia
and
q
and
a
and
discussion
that
we're
going
to
go
over.
So
thank
you.
B
Yeah,
thank
you,
everyone,
I'm
not
sure.
If
anyone
else
on
the
team
has
anything
to
say
before
I
pull
up
the
trivia,
but
we've
done
it
before
we've
got
a
few
more
questions.
I
promise.
I
won't
bore
you
with
a
bunch.
Well,
it's
something,
I
think
good
to
go
over
a
little
bit
at
a
time
and
a
little
bit
topic
by
topic
and
then
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
some
other
resources
that
are
available.
G
B
Thank
you
yeah.
I
I
can
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
too
yeah,
but
that's
okay!
Yeah!
Thank
you
for
showing
that
yeah
main
point
is:
please
fill
out
the
food
action
plan
survey
and
encourage
other
people
to
participate.
So
if
we
have
our
little
qr
code
and
link
here
to
get
going
on
the
trivia
we'll
go
through
just
like
five
questions,
or
so
the
link
is
http,
colon,
slash,
etc.
B
B
B
We've
got
this
great
little
trivia
game
that
I
know
works
for
some
people,
but
we
also
have
a
lot
of
documents
available,
both
that
were
shared
on
the
january
19th
meeting
agenda
that
is
posted
on
limbs.minneapolismn.gov
as
well
as
was
sent
out
to
everybody,
as
well
as
the
bylaws
and
the
resolution
are
on
the
limbs
as
well,
just
like
as
independent
documents.
So
that
is
a
good
source
for
our
rules
and
why
many
why
minneapolis
homegrown
food
council
was
started
in
the
first
place?
B
I
mean
you're
also
welcome
to
reach
out
to
me
for
any
of
those
documents,
as
well
and
after
a
quite
a
few
questions
here,
I'll
I'll
share
a
little
bit
more
about
some
of
the
other
documents
that
it'll
lead
us
into
all
right,
we're
feeling
feeling
good.
I
can't
see
you
also,
I'm
just
gonna
assume
we
gotta.
A
B
Cool
great
I'll
kick
us
off
here,
and
you
can
always
join
the
link
down
here
at
the
bottom.
So
this
is
our
last
question
and
I'll
kick
us
as
a
reminder.
Our
last
one
we
left
off
on
was
the
homegrown
minneapolis
food
council
envisions
a
bright,
a
vibrant
local
food
system
that
enhances
the
health
of
all
participants
or
all
residents
protects
the
earth
increases
economic
vitality,
expands,
social
connectedness,
improves
food
security
or
all
of
the
above
and
of
course,
our
answer
is
all
of
the
above
all
right.
B
B
Awesome
got
good
answers
in
the
answer
is
true.
The
city
charter
is,
you
know,
maybe
not
as
lengthy
as
the
as
the
united
states
constitution,
but
it's
still
quite
a
big
document
that
serves
this
similar
function.
So
on
that
topic,
what
are
some
of
the
things?
The
city
charter
outlines
policy
processes,
operating
structure
and
responsibilities,
the
names
of
government
officials,
specific
ordinances,
a
and
b,
which
are
policy
processes
and
operating
structure,
and
all
of
the
above
lots
of
questions.
B
On
that
topic.
Where
do
you
find
information
about
the
city's
laws
and
ordinances
etc?
All
that
fun
stuff
either
the
basement
of
city
hall,
the
munico
website,
the
minneapolis
library
or
the
minneapolis
farmers
market,
we're
all
doing
great.
The
answer,
you're
right
super
fun
place
if
no
one's
ever
been.
The
munico
website
is
the
correct
answer.
It
is
easy
to
find
from
the
city
of
minneapolis
website
and
lists
all
of
the
ordinances
and
their
history
and
all
that
fun
stuff.
B
B
B
B
B
all
right,
and
this
is
part
of
the
reason
why
we're
bringing
up
and
the
last
question
I
will
talk
about
tonight,
true
or
false.
The
minneapolis
2040
comprehensive
plan
has
a
policy
about
urban
agriculture
and
local
food
production,
great
job,
yeah,
you're
all
correct.
The
answer
is
true.
The
minneapolis,
comprehensive
2040
comprehensive
plan
does
have
a
policy
about
urban
agriculture
and
local
food
production.
B
A
B
B
I'm
thinking
I'll
get
to
that.
A
second
about
the
food,
the
food
council,
history
and
the
history
of
the
homegrown
minneapolis
initiative,
and
also
what
it
means
to
be
on
the
food
council,
which
is
a
lot
of
stuff
and,
as
I
said,
some
of
the
information
was
linked
on
that
january
19th
agenda,
which
was
sent
out
to
members
january
18th,
so
bylaws
establishing
resolution.
The
training
manual
for
boards
and
commissions
super
fun
long
document,
but
has
all
of
the
rules.
B
B
To
get
to
some
of
that,
we
have
a
lot
of
other
documents
about
the
history
of
homegrown
that
we
didn't
want
to
send
all
all
at
once,
but
there's
a
lot
of
different
highlights
and
previous
council
actions
like
previous
food
council
actions
and
all
of
that
sort
of
thing.
So
that's
something
kind
of
open
for
a
discussion.
B
If
people
want
to
talk
about
that
in
the
meeting
or
if
there's
stuff
people
are
interested
in
specifically,
they
can
reach
out,
and
I
can
send
that,
but
to
talk
about
jenny's
question
yeah
the
and
thank
you
patty
for
sharing
the
link
to
the
minneapolis
2040
plan.
It
is
a
really
long
document,
but
that
would
be
something
interesting.
Maybe
if
people
are
interested
in
talking
about
kind
of
how
food
fits
into
the
20
40
plan,
that's
something.
B
W
No
no
grace
covered
it.
We
were
very
intentional
about
wanting
to
make
sure
that
public
health
showed
up
in
the
2040
plan.
I
just
put
the
segment
of
the
plan
in
the
chat
and
yeah.
If
there
is
interest
in
homegrown
history,
you're
seeing
history
right
here,
let's
see
devon
myself,
kristen
klingler,
you
know,
there's,
there's
jenny,
there's
there's
a
bunch
of
us
who
were
kind
of
there
at
the
beginning.
So
you
know
if
we
could
certainly
do
something
at
the
next
meeting.
A
Yeah
that
sounds
cool
I'd,
be
I'd,
be
glad
to
share
just
thinking
about
the
journey
right
like
it's.
It's
been
amazing,
so
thank
you
for
the
question
danielle.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
sharing
the
links
and
your
question
as
well
genie.
Excuse
me,
jenny,
the
comp
plan,
that's
why
I
knew
the
year
because
we
were
able
to
be
a
part
of
helping
to
shape
that
section
on
urban
agriculture,
so
really
excited
to
see
that
it's
in
there
and
we're
working
at
it.
Let's
see,
I
think
I
saw
something
else.
A
A
Awesome
so
a
little
bit
of
homework
to
do
there.
If
you,
you
know,
need
some
night
reading,
there's
bylaws
there's
you
know
that
january
19th
email
that
grace
mentioned
that
20
40
comp
plan
getting
in
there.
I
think
it
has
that
search
function
where
you
can
just
put
urban
agriculture
or
food
access
or
food
justice
or
gardening,
or
you
know,
word,
search
type
things
in
there.
It's
very
interactive.
We
want
it
to
be
accessible,
so
a
little
homework
to
do
so.
A
We
got
about
14
minutes
left
and
wanted
to
create
a
space
for.
Let
me
just
get
back
to
my
agenda,
sorry
about
that
for
updates
from
from
council
members.
If
you
have
something
you
want
to
contribute
or
if
you're
on
the
you
can
raise
your
hand
or
unmute
yourself,
while
you're
figuring
that
out
I
I
will
just
mention
one
thing
that
came
up
earlier
around
the
fruit
and
vegetable
prescription,
programs
of
fruit,
veggie
rx
and
at
the
west
broadway
farmers
market.
A
We
had
the
the
wonderful
opportunity
to
pilot
that
program
through
with
wholesome
wave
and
partnership
with.
I
think
it
was
blue
cross
blue
shield
center
for
convention.
If
I
remember
right
and
piloted
with
north
point-
and
it
was
called
northside
freshbox
and
at
that
point
you
did
have
to
you-
know-
get
a
prescription
for
your
food
as
medicine
or
as
preventative
care,
as
as
jenny
said
in
the
chat
for
for
your
produce
at
the
market.
A
But
what
we
found
again,
you
know
always
that
question
around
sustainability,
oftentimes,
the
things
that
we
know
are
most
most
impactful-
are
sometimes
the
hardest
to
to
show
the
impact
and
or
sustain.
But
you
know
the
the
participants
started
showing
up
even
after
that
program
ended
the
pilot
ended
and
they
were
like
showing
up
to
their
doctor's
office
like
where's
where's.
My
prescription
farmer's
market
season
is
coming
like
what's
up,
and
so
we've
been
able
to
continue
that
program
at
the
west
broadway
farmers
market.
A
So
it's
an
internal
program
at
this
point
you
know:
there's
a
national
model
if
folks
are
interested
in
connecting
with
wholesome
wave
is
the
organization
that
I'm
familiar
with,
but
we
know
that.
Well,
I
think,
washington.
You
know
we
have
health
department
people
on
here
who
can
give
you
the
data
around
the
impacts
around
increased.
You
know
fruit
and
vegetable
consumption,
but
there
there
are
all
these
you
know
opportunities
there.
A
B
I
will
just
say
again:
I
put
the
food
action
plan
survey
link
in
the
chat.
It
is
z.umn.edu
mpls
food
action
plan
survey
and
that
would
be
great
as
a
reminder.
Fill
it
out,
we're
doing
our
push
it's
open
through
the
end
of
the
month.
We've
got
social
media
ads
and
we'd
love
your
networks
to
share
it
and
fill
it
out.
That
would
be
great
yeah.
We're
just
really
excited
about
it.
So
that's
that's
our
update,
and
here.
A
Thank
you
grace
and
marcus
for
the
reminders.
If
you
don't
know
what
the
food
action
plan
is
another
little
something
you
can
do
a
little
homework
on
quite
a
lot
of
work
has
gone
into
that
as
well,
and
partnership
with
the
university
of
minnesota
office
of
applied
economics,
and
you
know
all
the
things
that
that
we've
been
working
on
for
many
years
in
partnership
with
this
wonderful
community
government
partnership
with
homegrown.
So
we
can
talk
more
about
food
action
plan.
I'm
sure
we
will
over
over
the
next
few
months.
U
U
A
AD
AD
Member
last
spring
did
this
at
four
parks
and
we're
excited
to
hopefully
expand
and
see
a
larger
turnout.
So
the
way
it
works
just
for
anyone
that
hasn't
attended
a
swap
event
before
is
we'll
be
asking
community
members
to
bring
usable
gently
used,
garden
tool
or
yard
care
items
to
a
basically
just
park,
parking
lots
and
you
can
take
and
leave
as
many
things
as
you
like.
There's
no
exchange
of
currency
and
you
don't
have
to
bring
anything
to
take
anything.
A
L
Any
others
say
devon.
I
had
I
had
one
I
want
to
just
throw
out
there
thinking
in
the
future
this
year
we're
reconvening
the
neighborhood
groups
at
the
community
connections
conference
on
may,
21st,
it'll
be
at
the
minneapolis
convention
center
and
one
of
the
unique
things
that
we're
doing
this
year
is
that
we're
going
to
be
having
a
green
zone
summit
so
basically
a
track
of
information.
L
So
just
wanted
to
have
that
mark
that
on
your
calendar,
because
I
think
it's
a
really
great
opportunity
to
see
a
lot
of
different
organizations
and
it's
it's
all
being
connected
with
our
neighborhood
organizations
as
well
too
so
this
year
we
have
that
added
bonus
of
a
green
zone
summit
track
that
many
people
could
participate
around
environmental
justice
and
food
justice.
So
I
wanted
to
put
that
on
your
calendar.
A
G
A
No,
I'm
gonna
give
you
six
back
six
minutes
of
your
of
your
evening.
If
they're
with
that
we've
completed
all
the
items
on
the
agenda
for
this
meet
for
this
meeting,
I
did
drop
in
the
chat
community
members
can
email
homegrown
at
minneapolism
with
comments
or
questions,
and
we've
completed
that.
Thank
you
to
everyone.
Our
council
members,
our
community
members
for
joining
us
tonight
and
participating
in
our
discussion
to
our
those
who
presented
brought
all
the
wonderful
information
just
keep
showing
up.
A
That's
what
I'll
say
it
gets
better.
Every
time
we
put
a
lot
of
work
and
thought
into
making
sure
these.
These
meetings
are
not
just
informative
and
meaningful,
but
fun
like
we
want
to
have
fun
we're
volunteers.
I
want
to
have
fun
when
I'm
volunteering,
so
hopefully
we're
okay
with
a
little
bit
of
point.
Do
council,
members
or
staff
or
others
have
anything
else
to
bring
before
we
adjourn.
