I spent Martin Luther King Day traveling by ferry up to New Haven, Connecticut to the Food & Faith conference hosted by the Unitarian Fellowship of New Haven. I was joined by several others from Long Island who work to bring local food opportunities to Long Island, including Fran Whittelsy of the Gateway Community Farm in Huntington, NY plus Bhavani Jaroff and her helper Yolanda, who both are involved with Slow Food Huntington and iEatGreen. We learned about similar efforts happening in CT and how places of worship can be involved in the local food movement. We learned that groups there have worked to start gardens at schools so kids can learn how to grow their own food. Great idea!
