Every now and then you find out an organization exists that takes the sentiment of a community and puts it into action. We have spoken to so many people who believe in the local food movement and are taking baby steps to spread the word, but Karyn Moskowitz and SteVon Edwards at the Community Farm Alliance (CFA) have worked with Rae Stroebel to develop the Stone Soup Community Kitchen which brings people of all races and economic backgrounds into one of Louisville's urban community buildings to learn to make all types of dishes with fresh, local food.
Beef from Barr Farms, chicken from Earth's promise and loads of veggies donated by St. Matthews Farmer's Market determined the recipes, but the hands of 50+ people made the true magic happen. The CFA educated the attendees on how they can use food stamps and WIC vouchers for good food instead of boxed, preservative-laced food from the grocery store.
Everyone becomes super enthused and kids get in on the action as they learn how easy it is to cook a homemade meal that is low-fat and tasty in just a short time. There was gazpacho, fajitas, a Greek barley dish, fresh melons, stuffed peppers with meatloaf and green beans. There was so much food donated that everyone got to take a little something home with them. CFA, the farmers and the community help make this monthly event happen!
