As the season changes around here at Hidden Villa, we look back at the harvest that we were able to produce for our community. This season we donated 3,928 pounds to the Community Services Agency of Mountain View, a partnership that we are proud to continue. For over 50 years, Community Services Agency has been providing vital social services for residents of Mountain View, Los Altos and Los Altos Hills. They provide a safety net so independence and self-sufficiency can be restored and maintained. Clients may be a young, working poor family or an elderly person looking for companionship.
It has been a challenging season throughout California for farmers and farm workers. The drought has greatly impacted our ability to grow food. We have been conscious of our water usage and are always exploring ways to be more water-wise. We are excited to have been able to, in the face of a drought, continue to provide fresh produce to our low-income neighbors. LaDrea Clark, the Nutrition and Health Education Assistant, passed on this message to us about our partnership. "I know that clients love, love, love the fresh produce. We have the busiest days when they know we have fresh produce. The clients definitely come on produce days. Thank you all for everything that you do and all the beautiful fresh pesticide free produce."
We are so grateful for your support in helping us offer fresh, healthy, local food to our community members and neighbors.
