🙏🏾 Grateful to @LtGovStratton for supporting local urban farms like us!
I’m proud of our work to expand access to locally grown food. Today at @GreenCityMarket, I picked up turnips and brussel sprouts from Star Farm, kale and carrots from @growinghome’s Englewood Organic Urban Farm. What a way to #supportsmallbusiness! 🥕🥬🍎#AgConnectsUsAll
