A few weeks ago I met John Caravetta at the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy in Traverse City. He has a professional background in agriculture and volunteers at the Maple Bay Community Garden to provide technical direction to gardeners. They grew almost 8,000 (!) pounds of produce that went directly into the area’s food rescue system. Take a listen HERE to the short piece I produced for The Volunteers series at Interlochen Public Radio.
And if you're in the region and have a volunteer story, DM me. I'd love to produce yours!
Cheers,
Leslie Hamp
