Living the Farm to Table Life for Over 20 Years
About Samantha
Samantha started her Farm-to-Table journey in 2003. She’s been obsessed with fresh foods ever since and has helped thousands of families eat MORE fruits and vegetables. Her CSA has helped move over 1,000,000 pieces of food from local farms to the kitchen tables of Los Angeles households since 2010. Her biggest passion is creating is helping people eat seasonally and creating easy recipes the whole family will love! You can check out her recipe library here.
Samantha and her husband Mark have been delivering good boxes of organic fruits and veggies since 2010. Good Box Organics’ mission is to help make their community healthier, one box at a time. It’s more than just grocery delivery. It’s a positive feedback loop of goodness. When you use your food dollars to buy a good box, you’re supporting good people, good farmers with good earth-stewardship practices, creating good in our community through our giveback initiatives. So far they’ve supported the planting of over 30,000 trees and have donated $250,000 to schools they partner with.
She likes to think of her area of expertise as “fooducation”. She’s taken her fooducation focus to teach every age from preschool to adults and seniors. Helping people gain a better understanding of where their food comes from, how to cook and eat with the seasons, how to store produce, how to save time in the kitchen and much more.
A few generations back, we, as a society were so much more connected to our food. Six generation ago 70% of our country were farmers. By 1920 only 30% of the population were farmers. Fast forward to a hundred years and now that number is closer to 2%. Bringing back a connection with food, with those who grow it, creating community is something that feels ripe with the kind of connection that brings about a deeper sense of wholeness.
The concept of climate change is so heavy and burdensome. Feeling like there’s something we can do as individuals to make a positive impact feels really encouraging. Eating seasonally, locally, organically, all lowers the carbon footprint of our meals. Every time we eat, we’re voting “with our fork” for healthier soil, cleaner air, safer water, and a brighter future.
She’s helped connect southern California farmers with thousands of families and students since 2010. From busy families, to empty-nesters, to celebrities, to personal friends and family, her produce delivery program has had a far reach in making healthy food accessible.
