Yum! I'm definitely checking this business out. Rhiannon and I recently watched Forks over Knives and she has agreed to add more veggies & whole grains to her diet. This is a perfect way to keep us on track. : )

Doorstep Farmers

Doorstep Farmers is a Community Supported Agriculture service in Pleasant Hill, CA. Doorstep Farmers delivers locally grown, organic produce to their members on a weekly or bi-monthly basis to help support local farmers and to promote healthier eating in the community. Doorstep Farmers is a youth owned business and sources much of its produce from farms as local as Martinez, Pleasanton, and Brentwood.

I asked Michael Wedgley how this business got started, and here is what he said:

"I started the business about a year ago on my own with only about $400 dollars, an ACL and meniscus tear in my right knee, and no driver’s license or car. I was motivated to do so when I learned about the practices of big seed companies like Monsanto. I found that their practices were leading the world to a situation which limited our choices and causes dependency on their seeds and products. So I decided that I wanted to help promote small, organic farms; farms which are using sustainable growing practices, and growing quality produce that nourishes our bodies. I’m 28, I was 26 when I started the business. In February, I brought in an old class mate into the business. Her name is Jessica Singh. She is 23 and has her degree in Business with a focus in Finance. We complement each other perfectly. She is always focused on the now and I am always focused on the future. She focuses on details, and I focus on the big picture. She is personable while I am very direct. It’s a great fit! In February when she came on we were at 30 subscribers. Since I brought Jessica on, our business compatibility has worked to increase our subscriber base to 300 subscribers!"

Thanks Ann! I think it's a great fit since the green fest is part of the farmer's market this year.
