[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 2917, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbeseq/2021/08/16/farm-fresh-food-security/'][B]Farm Fresh Food Security - Forbes[/B][/URL] Once a vacant barley field, the now 2-acre Bloom Community Farm¹ has sprung to life against the rolling hills of Quigley Canyon in Hailey, Idaho. The farm serves as a community hub for neighbors to learn how to grow, harvest, and take home a variety of vegetables — for free. Backed by the community non-profit, The Hunger Coalition, the organization understands the power of good food and designs spaces to bring hope and healing to their struggling community. Despite its ritzy façade, Blaine County, Idaho touts two statistics that no one likes to brag about — 52% of county residents are food insecure or one crisis away and the valley has the 6th highest food costs in the nation. Coupled with resort town housing costs (recently named the 5th most expensive small town in America), a statewide minimum wage that hasn’t seen an increase since 2009, and a lack of affordable childcare, it’s no wonder nearly a third of the county accessed the organization’s services last year.
