McKenzie Gary - Quarter 3, 2018 Update

Hello Steemit Community,

Here are some photos and videos from quarter 3, 2018. First, I have photos that will update you all on recent progressions at The Local Food Center. After updating you all on The Local Food Center, I update you all on my recent trip to Maine.

A listener recently tuned into Lazy Sundaze Broadcast and recommended that I get a camera stabilizer. The videos below are made experimenting with the camera stabilizer. For more information on Lazy Sundaze Broadcast scroll down to the bottom of the post!

The first photo here is a photo from a produce auction maybe 20 minutes away from The Local Food Center, in a town called Ava, Missouri. Collecting volume and price data on the auction over the last few months has been an excellent experience. Now that the auction and growing season is over we've started working directly with greenhouse growers.

A few weeks into Q3, we took a trip to a farm for a retreat. I took advantage of a small lake on the farm to get some canoeing and kayaking in.

So far, working with greenhouse growers has played a big role in providing institutions with locally sourced produce the last two months. It's been a great experience working directly with farmers. Here is a photo of tomatoes before we washed/sorted them and another photo of the tomatoes we sourced on the institutional buyer's shelves.

Trip To Maine


Going to Maine in September was an excellent opportunity to catch up with old friends. I filmed a few of my old friends performing a concert on a boat in Portland, ME. I also was fortunate enough to go to a beach and collect sea glass with an old friend of mine who has been collecting sea glass on weekends as a hobby her entire life.

I have uploaded two videos, the first is a cover of 3 AM by Matchbox Twenty and the second video is a montage of clips that I put together with music in the background to summarize my experience in Maine.
