A Worthy Cause...Please Read!

Dear Members:

Whether it is in a ‘traditional classroom’, home, or out in the field, teaching our youth is truly a ‘calling’. It requires dedication and a passion to instill the love of learning.

In addition to being a wife, grandmother, active Member of her Church, working her Farm, running a successful agricultural based business, volunteer work in the community, Tammy Burnell of Burnell Farms founded For My Daughters’ Sake. This non-profit, faith-based organization concentrates it efforts on educating and engaging girls (from 8 to 21) in educational programs. Teaching our youth self-sufficiency skills enhances their knowledge, ability to accept responsibility, confidence to meet those responsibilities, ability to think ‘outside of the box’ and create a niche to entrepreneurial success. On the path they are learning about nutrient dense foods for healthy nutrition, sustainability, canning, sewing, soap making, etiquette —
and a myriad of other life skills that will serve them well as they transition in the the world of adult-hood. Keeping and growing in faith and spiritual ideals will give them strength and fortitude in their journey.

Truly Living Well, a well-established urban farm and organization out of Atlanta, Georgia has collaborated with Burnell Farms to add to the success of this youth program.

In an effort to further the girls’ understanding of organic farming, Tammy is endeavoring to take them to the Georgia Organics Conference being held later this month. The girls engaged in a canning project to raise money; but have fallen a bit short and need our help! You can do this either by donating at Market pickup or by clicking the link below! A portion of the Market proceeds this week will be donated to My Daughters’ Sake. Will you help also?

Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for donating to this worthy endeavor! In a future Newsletter, I will provide feedback from these young ladies about their experience!
