A very enjoyable story I worked on: “From Field to Fork”: Food Banks Start Farming to Feed Needy. I traveled to Detroit to follow the movement of fresh produce from a food rescue group’s farm to the plates of the needy. Now, planting was just starting so there wasn’t actual produce shuttling yet from the farm. But you absolutely got the idea. This was one of the first reports on this slow-growing trend (no pun intended) and I got a ton of positive feedback.
