Update on Farmer Roy

Farmer Roy made it through surgery with flying colors! He will be in I.C.U. for a few days before transferring to a "regular" hospital room. Unfortunately, the surgery did not paint a brighter picture of the prognosis than we already had. Roy is fortunate to have such a wonderful family support group. When I entered the surgical waiting room I knew immediately which cluster of folks was Roy's family - it was the BIG group. He will be well taken care of. We love you Farmer Roy.

Tomorrow, Wednesday - March 10, 2010 - Farmer Roy will have surgery for a brain tumor. Our thoughts and prayers are with him. He has been my mentor and my touchstone for years. I hope he will feel my presence during his surgery and hospitalization as much as I feel his presence in my life everyday. We are all thinking of you and are with you during this time of physical challenge. We love you Farmer Roy!

Prayers for Farmer Roy

Farmer Roy is having surgery on Wednesday, March 10. He was diagnosed Saturday, March 6 with Stage Four Astrocytoma. Please keep him in your prayers and thoughts as he goes through this rough stage in his wonderful life.
We love you, Roy - Your GRUB family

We Love Our Volunteers

Producing nearly 100,000 pounds of produce on a 5.5-acre farm would be impossible without our great volunteers. Drip irrigation lines were laid on Saturday by one volunteer group so another volunteer group can plant on Monday. THANK YOU!

Eat Your Vegetables!

On the GRUB Farm we grow awesome vegetables. The majority of the growing season labor is provided by teens in the GRUB Program. One day the staff realized that the teens were not eating the vegetables they were growing. When asked why they weren't taking advantage of the availability of the beautiful vegetables, most of them told us the didn't like vegetables. We knew we had to change that!

Giving the GRUB teens the opportunity to prepare delicious recipes using our fresh GRUB produce was the catalyst for change. I am proud to report - The GRUB teens are eating their vegetables!
