Fresh & Local

Our awesome partner, Daughters of Charity Services of New Orleans (DCSNO), is a finalist for a grant from Humana that would allow us to offer Farmers Market Prescriptions to New Orleanians at risk of developing diabetes, but we need your help! PLEASE CONSIDER VOTING for DCSNO now through Friday, August 21 via your email, Facebook AND Twitter at HumanaHCBVote.com. That's right. You can vote three times a day! Please also spread the word by sharing this message, following @ccfmtweets and @marketumbrella on Twitter, and sharing posts, hashtag #DaughtersVsDiabetes. More than 4,000 of DCSNO’s patients currently suffer from diabetes. DCSNO hopes to combat this epidemic by starting a pre-diabetes program. The program will include educational sessions on diabetes, nutrition, physical activity, managing stress, and overcoming barriers. DCSNO will also partner with us to provide participants with vouchers for fresh fruits and vegetables at the CCFM. Together, we can improve the health of our community by preventing diabetes and supporting local farmers!

Pick of the Week:
“Cooking Up A Storm” book signing with Judy Walker

In honor of the 10th Anniversary of Katrina, Judy Walker is releasing a hardback edition of her cookbook, “Cooking Up A Storm” and will be selling and signing copies at market this Saturday, August 22nd from 8:30-11:30am.
