La Caja Project was formed by myself, Tereza Iniguez-Flores, Deborah Gallegos and Courtney Ryan. Trying to get organic whole foods onto our tables, and the interest in nutrition is what brought us into this project. It became apparent that our communities within the Southeast side of San Francisco have limited accessibility to healthy food choices. Our intention, as we make Catalan Farms Produce easily accessible to our communities, is not only to provide our communities with healthy choices, but also to encourage thoughtful eating. Our concerns are the health issues (such as diabetes) growing at a rapid pace within our communities due to the lack of whole food accessibility. Another concern is the time limitation for food preparation, which draws the families in our communities away from whole foods and therefore, away from eating healthy. We provide our communities with classes and workshops on how to prepare healthy meals with limited time.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Our search for quality food, lead us to The Catalan Farms in Hollister, Ca.
