Dear friends and supporters of our local food network, Two weeks ago our dear neighbors at Cayuga Pure Organics (CPO) in Brooktondale suffered a barn fire that took out most of their processing equipment and a significant amount of inventory. This year's crop will soon be ready to come out of the field, but they can't process it without rebuilding their barn. And their farm can't survive if they can't generate income. CPO fills an important niche in the local food scene, growing dry beans and grains to supply local flour. We as a community can't afford to lose them. Please join us in supporting their Indiegogo campaign to raise the needed funds to rebuild: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-cayuga-pure-organics-an-organic-non-gmo-farm-rebuild-after-fire. Literally any amount helps! In decades past, the community would gather to physically help a farmer erect a new barn after a fire. Now, many more of us can help with the click of a mouse, through supporting this crowd-funding campaign!
