When you know where your food comes from, you have the opportunity to build relationships with the producers who work so hard to grow and cultivate that food. John and Kelly own Seldom Seen Farms and offer fantastic produce through the Broadripple Farmers’ Market, Indy Winter Farmers’ Market and a CSA. Unfortunately, Kelly was struck by last lightning Thursday while working on the farm. Her husband, John was there and able to perform CPR while waiting for medics to arrive. Kelly is in critical condition in the Cardiac ICU at Methodist Hospital in downtown Indianapolis.
You can support the family during this time by patronizing their booth at the Broadripple Farmers’ Market. Also, many of the stands at that market are donating a percentage of their proceeds to Kelly’s care and offering the opportunity for direct donations. A great member of our community is in need, and beyond the traditional benefits of buying local, this time the importance your dollars staying local is even more significant.
I am working with Indy Fringe to do the food for The Longest Dinner on August 29th on Mass Ave. We are donating 25% of proceeds to Kelly's fund.
