Okay, so LHG (Local Harvest Grocery) participated in our first Earth Day. It was an amazing day. We had a food booth and many thanks go out to our employees who helped make it happen. Clara made literally hundreds of pounds of dip and worked lots of hours to help prepare. Laura and Clara both worked a long 13-hour day at the festival. And our newest employee Andy helped us make lots of Morganford Mediterranean wraps and had face time on Channel 11 news along with Clara and me. Even Mayor Slay came by and I could tell that he wanted to put his face right in that hummus and just have a field day, but his handlers were holding him back.
This was one of our largest food events thus far and to quote Clara Moore "You can do anything if you have a system." We were all thankful for her systems. We all discussed how great it's going to be when we have our new space. Food prep for hundreds is a wee bit tight at LHG. Our new cafe and catering space will seem like a warehouse in comparison.
Thanks to all our customers who dropped by to show their support. It feels good to have so many people pulling for LHG and for local foods.
