Feed Your Hungry Locally

Feed Your Hungry Locally

How To
Stuart
(Feed Locally)
YOUR OWN Community
What We Have Learned In Stuart IA In A Few Months
The Manual
1—You’ll be updated as we progress. What’s your email? Go to www.feedlocallystuartcommunity.com, the Facebook Page of Feed Locally Stuart Community or send to tapnsap@live.com.

1a-- Do something. Plant a few seeds, buy a container with cherry tomatoes already planted, see what books the library has…
We interrupt for a key reason.  We want to replicate The Roseto Effect!
[Gardening and Community => More Health]
Theresultswereastonishing.InRoseto,virtuallyno oneunderfifty‐fivehaddiedofaheartattackorshowed anysignsofheartdisease.Formen
oversixty‐five,the deathratefromheartdiseaseinRosetowasroughlyhalf thatoftheUnitedStatesasawhole.Thedeathratefrom allcauses
inRoseto,infact,was30to35percentlower thanexpected.


1b. We have a library of a few key books at New Beginnings church. ‘Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening’ and many more to be listed. See Appendix One (Amazon Associates might be used to help fund this project, because
When your outgo exceeds your income, your upkeep will be your downfall. ) [We now, June 15, have an offer of the fruit of 110 Aronia berry bushes.]
2—Find the WHY—the How comes second. (We vowed to work at this through 2020).What is
What is ‘TO STUART’?
a.     To Stuart is to feed the hungry.
Our plan is to grow (more) gardens and share.
Todmorden, UK plants on public land.
Kotzebue, in Arctic Alaska has vegetables year ‘round—hydroponically.

b.     To Stuart is to apply then to now. Captain Stuart founded a community to help feed growers (local farmers) along the Big Mover then, the railroad. 1870.
By 2020, we aim to be a community that helps food growers (other local communities) along the Big Mover now, the internet/world wide web, to
Stuart and Beyond as we write at www.feedlocallystuartcommunity.com

3—Our website was free for the first year from Weebly, and you can search ‘free websites’. We hope to have the local newspaper run it, after it’s profitable. http://www.feedlocallystuartcommunity.com/. Until then, this second stage website is made and maintained by Hartman. Send your email to tapnsap@live.com to get updates. Also subscribe to The Stuart Herald, Stuart IA 50250
4—Our Facebook Page: Feed Locally Stuart Community https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=feed%20locally%20stuart%20community
Join it.
5—What is THE NEED?  40% + of our local school students qualify for free or reduced price lunches. 400,000+  Iowans use Supplemental Nutrition/SNAP/’food stamps’. One in 8 is food stressed, and we are living in some of the best agricultural land in the world. These are easily searched. A National Geographic article on Osage, Iowais at http://www.nationalgeographic.com/foodfeatures/hunger/
6—To repeat, They’re growing vegetables year’ round in Arctic Alaska! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3904218/Arctic-farming-Town-turns-hydroponics-fresh-greens.html
7—Again, an inspiration is Todmorden, UK. It wants to be self-sufficient in vegetables: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2072383/Eccentric-town-Todmorden-growing-ALL-veg.html
8—The Roseto Effect: How gardening and community meant no heart attacks, from a review of Gladwell’s ‘Outliers’ http://www.mikewilson.me/readings/therosettomystery-gladwell.pdf Also see Wikipedia and other sources.
9—THE COMMAND Matthew 25:35-40 King James Version (KJV). Even better, see www.feedlocallystuartcommunity.com
Matthew 25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
10—With sprouting, you can have fresh food year ‘round. In less than a week! Search YouTube, see your local (health food) store, search Amazon. Kitchen Crop is @ $10, and a sample packet of 12 might be @ $20.
11—Our basic plan is for people to grow (more) garden, and share the produce. 1st year, pots? Also, don’t forget fruit trees and permaculture, and saving seeds. Heirloom beats GMO.
12—We are more network than hierarchy, and pray that churches and others will compete to find the hungry and to feed them. We try to buy locally. To ‘stuart,’ we pray, will come to mean that hunger is minimized by feeding locally the community, and that the founding principles are updated.
 Will there be tourists? Community gardens, little free food pantries—like Little Free Libraries in front yards. https://littlefreepantryofomaha.com/ We await their building plans, list of what to put in the pantries, and cost estimates.
Many videos on YouTube, etc.? Floats, Good E.G.G.s—Experienced.Gardening.Guides
--A second way of summarizing the situation.
The Manual How To ‘Stuart’ Feed Locally Your Own Community—What We Have Learned In Stuart IA
1—Do something. Plant a few seeds, buy a container with cherry tomatoes already planted, see what books the library has…
2—Post on social media, or talk to people to get a group.
3—Find your Sheila—an enthusiastic go-getter—t head up the project.
4—Find out how many school students qualify for free or reduced-price meal. 40%+ in Stuart. Note that 1 in 8 people are food-stressed (hungry) at some time during the year. 10%+ are in SNAP, get ‘food stamps’.
5—Become associated with a church. Ours in New Beginnings.
5—Todmorden, UK (‘carrots in the car park’) and Kotzebue, Alaska have ways of growing vegetables. Kotzebue is in the Arctic, and have fresh in the winter.
6—Our plan was to encourage (more) gardening and sharing.
7—Omaha’s little free food pantries are placed in yards with free food for the taking. Plans to come.
8—Sprouting is another way to have fresh food year ‘round. Check Amazon if your local health food store doesn’t have seeds and equipment.
9—We boost local businesses.  There are some links below that we put in this manual for free to help the online portions of sales of local businesses.
10—We’ve vowed to continue through 2020, Stuart’s 150th.  That gives us long term perspective.
11—Call us, or contact us at the website-furnished addresses, or check our Facebook Page—Feed Locally Stuart Community.  Join it, write us.
12—We have started a community garden already, behind New Beginnings.

Charles writing: I'm attempting to add 'to stuart' to the vocabulary of Christendom, that is, the vocabulary of civilization, as we try to feed locally and minimize hunger by growing (more) garden and sharing. I earnestly invite you, please.  Love in King Jesus. (I'm following Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy here, who said in Universal History 1954 that the glorification of the tribes would be small, enthusiastic groups (not on the warpath) as Israel was glorified in the church by getting rid of exclusions, and as empires were glorified in the nation-state by getting rid of slavery. [There's some question there about how well we did that]. It's the next 1000 years, he said, however long that is.
Why locally? It’s part of advice Charles gives. ‘Get Ready To Help Locally. Do your calling—the most important thing you can do at which you would be most difficult to replace. (GKN) Pray 1 Timothy 2: 1-4, thus:
1 Timothy 2:1-4 King James Version (KJV)2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
He (Rosenstock) also said that we would lose the ability to speak in America, by which he meant ‘true speech.’ Where one’s life is put behind one’s words, vowing.  We’ve vowed to continue through 2020. We are truly speaking. This is one of 49, one for each book of a 49-book Bible, literarily conceived, and the total, and I might add 3 mountains in time of ‘liturgy’ through the year, based on Jordan’s ‘Rethinking the Order of the Old Testament’ at BiblicalHorizons.com. The best source for the patterns of the Revolutions of the West, in short form, is Clint Gardner’s ‘Beyond Belief, Chapter 5. Hartmans ‘5’ is at ‘Better Summary’ at chuckhartmanhistoryconductor, though 153Culture is now best worked through as ’49 peace corps pirates,’ under construction.  [Use google search for the following] http://chuckhartmanhistoryconductor.blogspot.com/2015/06/better-summary-june-24-d-2015ephesians.html
Imperative: The Symphony of Comprehensive History Interactive, Subjective: How To Make Your Communities Better—updating and glorifying (Captain) Stuart is an example--, Narrative: House Of Singing Times (Calendar), Objective: 153Culture, now ’49 peace corps pirates,’ Planetary Service: Godparents For Eldsters (sll societies, social orders).
Charles does websites for businesses, and/or you can do your own. Search ‘free websites,’ find a good vendor or go to https://localbizprofit.com/#ordermenu. This is NOT an affiliate link. I’m prayerfully into ‘history conducting’. Prayerfully.
I’m also claiming that this is 5th generation warfare, spiritually.  In modern times, theorists (Lind) say, first generation was Napoleon’s massed armies, 2nd was artillery, third was tanks, and 4th was insurgents plus media (e. g. Viet Nam).  Lind doesn’t agree that 5th generation is separate, but it’s ‘nets and jets’—network, not hierarchy, and something to carry biowar and nanowar quickly around the world.  We’re using the internet.
More to come. His lectures (and transcripts) are online at ERH Fund--free. A good introduction: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/rosenstock-huessy/

Will $55,000 Do It—Feed Hungry Stuart?
Calculating Feed Locally – How Many Pounds of Food Would It Take?
 ‘Prime’s “pantry” items are all, by definition (sorry folks, truly fresh food that is not laden with sugars and hydrogenated oils doesn’t ship well!) high carb trash.’ I DON’T KNOW.


Also, some soups are even cheaper!
Let’s say 400 people are food-stressed.  A—1 in 8, per some articles, of 1700 = 200+. B—40%+ of school students (West Central Valley, 800) + parents. C—15% SNAP/’food stamps’ =300+ of 1700.

OK, 400 is a high estimate.
Does not include those needing better vitamins, which is most of us.
Now, a Food Bank of Iowa message quoted someone that the average person eats 1.2 pounds of food/day.
Let’s help with the .2 pounds.
.2 pounds x 400 = 80s lbs. a day.
80 x 400, to make it easy and high = 32,000 pounds a year, or 16 tons.  Easy to remember.
Now, if one could get, for comparison, 200 bushels of corn per acre x 55 pounds a bushel, that 10,000 pounds, or 5 tons.  But would it be nutritious, and would people prepare it?
So 4 acres of corn would do it.
But one needs better food, and there’s delivery, of course.
Let’s try sprouting for the nutrition—later.
For now, how much is a pound of vegetable beef soup, with an easy-opening pull tab? No pull tab shown, but condensed Campbell’s is $1.63 for 10.5 oz., let’s call it a pound. That’d mean 32,000 of them (can one order that many) or about $50,000.
$50,000 this way.
Are there other ways? And there are cheaper soups, and more variety.

YES!
To build community and to thus get more of the Roseto Effect (fewer heart attacks, etc.) for each in the community to garden (more) and share would be better.  Also this would help to ‘Stuart’ Stuart, that is help us to be a community helping the food producers (residents gardening for others now, farmers then) along the Big Mover (the internet now, the railroad then). This would encourage indoor gardening and sprouting, container gardening, community gardens, winter harvest, the Kotzebue Arctic hydroponic greens, etc.
How much for sprouts for all 400? Assume 400 families (older people at Congregate Meals would probably be singles—add that to the school totals).
It could be done more cheaply, but kitchen crops is @ $10, and grows 4 at a time. Sample pack is @$20, 5# alfalfa @$35, 5# lentils @$20, so 10 + 20 + 35 + 20 = $85, x400 = let’s say $5000.
So sprouting for nutrition and self-help is $5000 and vegetable beef soup is $50,000 so for $55,000 (excluding gardening and sharing, etc.) Does this build community, does it do the Roseto Effect?

I think the 150th year celebration for Stuart, Iowa is 2020.

We should perform this: Stuart: The Musical.
The 150th year celebration for Stuart, Iowa is 2020.

We should perform this: Stuart: The Musical.
[See link]



Here’s Why and How.

Singing about one’s life and circumstances is valuable, and singing helps us remember
I was rattling on about this at work, and one co-worker said something such as, ‘You wouldn’t even have to write the music, you could just use the music from a musical, with different words.’
I thought: Oklahoma.

WE HAVE THREE YEARS. The 2017 GoodEgg Days celebration will soon be over.

Here’s a refrain we could use, as an illustration.  At the end of the song ‘Oklahoma’ is this: ‘You’re doin’ fine Oklahoma, Oklahoma OK’.
We could have this as a refrain.  (Look at the events to be celebrated in song).
‘You’re doin’ fine Stuart Iowa! Stuart Iowa Hooray!’
[more in Charlie’s computer, including sample lyrics…--a key would be finding a music director]

--Things to do next
Next year, donated land cold have crops raised on it for the Food Bank of Iowa, and we could partner more closely with them, and other groups working toward some of our same ends, though we would want to keep our emphasis on ‘growing (more) gardens and sharing and E.G.G.s, Experienced.Gardening.Guides. Other social media for more outreach.
‘Have Horse, Will Plow’ could be expanded by a winter calling campaign to get volunteer residents to plant gardens in their yards. Perhaps we could partner with chapters of ‘Food Not Lawns’ or ‘Grow Food Not Lawns’
The local business selling on the internet could be expanded. Remember the Fred Couples quote; “I have as much game as anybody’.  It applies to websites.
There are reports that ‘powers that be’ have made it illegal to feed the homeless, or to grow gardens on lawns, or to have fruit orchards—we need to be sure that doesn’t happen to us by working closely as Todmorden and Kotzebue evidently have done.
Jay Abraham, the great marketer, surely has something valuable to teach us, and he’s giving away a lot of great material, ’50 Shades of Jay’.
Add to the soup cans powdered food?
Also, work more closely with rescuers of wasted food.
Check out the tribe that lived on acorns, and apply some lessons to corn?
Find some actual hungry ones to interview, to get more in-depth knowledge
The little free food pantries could be expanded, and further investigated.  What foods?  How kept filled? How much money?
Various ‘prepper’ business and groups could be asked about ‘community’—not just individual and family—preparations that could be adapted to our non-catastrophic ‘feed the hungry’ idea.
Expand the trees and permaculture and indoor gardening and ’Winter Harvest’/’Four Seasons Harvest’
