Community Roots CSA Outreach, a program that will make local organic CSA shares available to low income households in the south Boulder area. We will identify 5 low-income, food insecure families to take part in the 2008 CSA program. The shares that are offered to these families will be partially funded by local businesses, and partially funded through work hours by the CSA outreach members. For more information, contact Kimberly Bryant (windelk@hotmail.com). This program is new in 2008.

Community Fruits, a community fruit harvest and distribution program. We hope to utilize unused urban fruit from residential trees as a food resource. We intend to make agreements with homeowners who have fruit trees that are under-utilized where Community Roots will harvest their fruit and then distribute the produce: a portion to the homeowner, a portion to the volunteer laborers who harvest the fruit, through the CSA program, and at the farmer's market. For more information on this program, contact Carl Reeder (carl.reeder@colorado.edu).This program is new for 2008.
Community Roots Neighborhood Food Project - Newlands. Steve Morgan (steve.p.morgan@hotmail.com) is a farmer-in-training who is working to develop a Community Roots Food Project in the Newlands neighborhood, north of downtown Boulder. This project is just getting underway in the spring of 2008.
