A virtual visit to Angel Family Farm! Photos by Lizbeth Angel.
Meet Ana and Crisostomo Angel! Today they were hard at work, delivering fabulous fresh veggies to their CSA’s around town. Lizbeth Angel, their daughter (and Girls Club member), helps out with the weekly Farm Girls CSA distribution! Despite the scorching heat the Angels were all smiles, and smartly dressed I might add. Ana is the best dressed farmer in town and it turns out she loves to sew! She wanted to stay and work with our “Couture Camp” girls, who were all hard at work sewing their skirts inside. But alas, its summertime and Ana has lots of hungry city folks to feed. Fashion will have to wait until after the Fall harvest. The Angels are sweetest farming family around. We are lucky to have them (and their veggies!)
This is Ana Angel the Farmer. She and her husband both own and work on the Angle Family Farm. Every week they harvest loads of fresh vegetables to deliver to CSA’s and Farmers Markets throughout New York City.
In this picture Ana Angel shares a beautiful smile. As I took this picture I loved the detail in her face. She is giving a big smile and her pretty dimples show.
I picked this picture because it shows how hard Ana works to make sure everybody gets all of their vegetables. She is a strong woman!
Albuquerque Farm Tour
Today as part of the USDA’s Community Food Project Conference, we toured emerging urban farms of the southwestern valley area of Albuquerque. We met serveral young farmers who are reviving the traditional agricultural methods of their ancestors, producing enough fresh vegetables to feed their families, while also supplying local schools.
