Cleaver Co.

On Wednesday, March 26th, Ava, Sophia and I went to the green market in union square and got a tour from Mary Cleaver, the head of Cleaver Co.. We then bought about 22 pounds of apples for the event the next day which was a screening called our daily bread. She explained the situation with farmers and how organic food is very difficult to keep going.  We really recognized the amount of work is put into one meal that’s organic!  It’s beautiful how dedicated some of these brave farmers are!  We also visited a compost booth where we learned about how to compost and what to make compost out of.  We got a big tour of the compost station and saw all of the people bringing their trash just to make the world a better place.  It was very inspiring!  I also saw all of the things that were in the compost.  I observed entire dinners and multiple different kinds of exotic foods.  We stayed at the green market for about 45 minutes, walking around and seeing the sustainability going on all around us.  I felt like a better person.  🙂
