Notes |
On maternity leave, Lauren decided to start a farmers market in Glover Park, which would allow her community to directly support the local farm economy. She started attending D.C. Farmers Market Collaborative meetings to meet other market managers. Meanwhile, Sarah had the experience of a lifetime when Michelle Obama chose her school to come and plant the first-ever White House Garden. After that, Sarah took over the management of the Bancroft school garden, and joined the D.C. Environmental Education Consortium to learn from nonprofits in the field. Both Sarah and Lauren also became active members of the new D.C. Farm to School Network.
