Although City Harvest’s office was hit hard; they continue to provide food to those in need across the city. We spoke with Kate MacKenzie, Director of Policy and Government Relations of City Harvest, about their work to provide ready to eat meals, and culturally appropriate meals to communities impacted by Sandy. Kate said the best way to support City Harvest is to visit the website for volunteer and donation opportunities.

"We were poised to do whatever we could and are really ramping up efforts to be in disaster relief mode in addition to continuing to serve our agency network of emergency food providers. These are certainly unprecedented times that have thrown us all a few curve balls. But City Harvest is on the road serving really great food to our agency network as well as those hit hardest by the Hurricane."--Kate MacKenzie, Director of Policy and Government Relations of City Harvest

Kansas City is currently a hot bed of Heritage farmers connected through local and national restaurants. They are mission driven but also hardened business men. Public conversation is all about free-range, organic, no antibiotics, etc., but that is only part of the story. No one is talking about the genetics of these livestock. We should be talking about where these animals are from, what their lineage is, not just how are they are being raised and treated on the farm. Let's meet the small farmers who are paying attention to genetic integrity and biodiversity in livestock. These are also the farmers supplying some of the nations best meals. Hear from Craig Good, Joseph Hubbard and Frank Reese on this special in the field report from Leah Eden on HeritageRadioNetwork.org. This piece was sponsored by Paradise Locker Meats.
