Today, we set aside talk of food to focus on and celebrate the life and work of Martin Luther King Jr. And we also celebrate the important work of his wife Coretta Scott King; not only was she his active partner in the civil rights movement, she also fought tirelessly for 15 years after his death to have this day made an official federal holiday. For all they both did, a simple morsel of a quote didn't seem like enough to mark the day. We wanted to share this playlist that contains nearly all of his important speeches, so you can nourish your mind and reflect deeply on his messages, in a larger context and beyond today. We hope you will enjoy and be as inspired by it as we are.

Playlist at link in bio for now, and we'll leave this here for future viewers:

Sometimes bigger can be better. Case in point: Chobani. Their mission always has been to make better food accessible to more people, thus making the world a healthier place. We like to think of them as a yogurt version of that relatable, down to earth celebrity you'd want to break bread and share a beer with; they've come a long way, but haven't lost sight of their original mission or forgotten where they came from. They give back to their communities, with 100% of their profits on select products going to fight malnutrition worldwide. And, as always, their products continue to be delicious, with all natural ingredients and lack of artificial sweeteners. 💗🧡

It's fair to say that farming is the backbone of America. It's hard, honest work and deserves fair payment and a transparent system. Farmer Focus was founded by Corwin Heatwole, an intergenerational farmer himself since he was three years old, with a singular mission: to promote, protect and support generational family farms. He experienced what it was like to farm for the major poultry labels and knew he wanted to do something different and better. By putting the decision-making back in the hands of its farmers, and providing fair pay, Farmer Focus has made it feasible for their family farm partners to make organic mean something again. All Farmer Focus chicken is 100% organic, certified humane by two 3rd-party organizations and certified non-GMO.

Case in point: River's Edge Farm, a multi-generational family farm now run by Jules Maloney-Smith, her partner Keely, and their children, in Augusta County, Virginia. Jules is pictured with one of their children and some lucky chickens! Look for the Farmer ID on each package of Farmer Focus chicken you buy to link you to details about the committed family farmers who grew your chicken! Even better? It's on sale now at FreshDirect. 😘🐓
