For every 2 Pack of CRESBI crates sold I was going to give a seed packet to a deserving big city elementary school in the Cincinnati area, which is just over the river about 25 minutes from Sun Sugar Farms. When I called the state of Ohio to see if there was anything special I needed to do I was told that there would be a $40 fee for "seed distribution". Are you SERIOUS? You're going to charge me to donate my stuff to help your schools grow fun nutritious food that kids might like that would get them eating healthy?
So I'll be giving my extra sunflower, pumpkin and edamame seeds to Northern Kentucky places. Last summer during the first week of the harvest we had only 40 pounds of edamame - not enough for Green Bean Delivery (which needs 80 minimum) and too much for Kremer's Marketand Raymond's Hong Kong Cafe. So we donated it to Piner Elementary, a school in a rural community still recovering from a devastating tornado last year. The kids' reaction to the new food was great and you can check out the video at www.edamameusa.com!
