Memo to Mrs. Obama from Ysabelle

Mrs. Obama,

I recently have been contacted by Common Good City Farms and they have requested you to visit their farm. Accepting this invitation could potentially be part of your Let’s Move campaign as well as providing publicity for the campaign. Common Good City Farms holds several of the same ideals as the Let’s Move campaign does. They are an urban farm seeking to get rid of “food deserts”. They have been supplying local residents with fresh produce at no cost but their volunteer time at the farm. Not only is this organization providing fresh, healthy, and pesticide free produce, but they also have workshops where people can learn how to prepare these foods in a healthy manner. Nothing goes to waste on Common Good City Farm. The plants that are passed their prime are recycled through their natural compost piles and used to create fertile soil for the crops and plants. This group also focuses on sustainability. They ensure that the land they plant on may be used again by fertilizing it with natural compost and not placing harmful chemicals that may stimulate plant growth, but deteriorate the quality of the soil. This farm is placing fresh food on tables of those who might otherwise not be able to afford it. Also, if we allow this program to expand it may work hand in hand with the Let’s Move initiative by providing the needed produce to increase healthy eating and choices. In visiting this farm we may be able to create a beneficial working relationship.
