At the market last Friday, many members of CLG asked what they could do to help the Crimmins family that suffered a total crop loss due to flooding. I reached out again to them to let them know about the huge interest in supporting their operation. Lucrecia informed me that Tammy Keith had come to their place and written an article about their experience. Here’s a link to that article:

And here’s a note from Lucrecia Crimmins: We’re very touched by everyone’s offer support, but we all feel as Chuck says in the article: “no, no, no, to donations… there are many others much worse off than we are.” Please thank everyone once again though. We hope to see everyone again later in the year.

I think you’ll agree that this family exemplifies the kind of grit it takes to be a farm family, now and in years past.
