Living in a food desert
I don't imagine most people reading my blog have ever experienced anything like what Olga Perez describes in this NPR story (fortunately, neither have I), which is all the more reason why you should read/listen to it.
I'm a free-lance writer, researcher and community organizer. When I'm not growing my own food, volunteering as a mentor for a low-income gardener, attending county Food Policy Council meetings, helping plan and organize events for Portland Tuv Ha'Aretz (Portland's Jewish connection to sustainabile, ethical food), hosting The Yiddish Hour on KBOO 90.7 fm, cooking, eating, reading, biking, blogging or sleeping, I'm probably writing classical music program notes for the Oregon Symphony. Or not.
