Food is clearly an essential item for all of us, but for some people buying food, especially things like fresh fruits and vegetables, is an impossibility. That's where places like food pantries and organizations like the Sustainable Food Center, come in. We're hearing today from Alex Mace who manages a program at the Sustainable Food Center, in Austin, Texas, that helps people using SNAP benefits gain access to fresh produce, and at the same time promotes local farmers and food producers. Like others featured on Mothering Earth, Mace is a person who is taking action to help create a more sustainable and equitable world.

Sustainable Food Center transforms the food system to nourish our health, land, and livelihood.  Their work supports local, small to mid-sized farms so they can thrive. Today, we sit down with Morgan Ehmling, Program Manager at Sustainable Food Center, to learn more about how they increase access to healthy, local food and offer education and resources to help individuals and families maintain a healthy diet.

Well it's time that you all get an explanation. Charlie and I had a long chat about the future of the podcast and have decided to put it in an indefinite hiatus. Between the two of us we've gotten so busy in our day to day lives that we haven't had a chance to work on the show. Outside of our work and social lives, Charlie is actively involved in several organizations and is attending an intense coding bootcamp. Meanwhile I am busy working with the City of Austin on a project I am very involved with, and working on a new podcast. Sadly there are so many hours in a day that we decided to call a long break on Everyday Superhumans. We would like to thank the following for making this podcast possible.

A Hunger To Change The Conversation About Health Growing up, Carly Pollack struggled with a buffet of issues: anxiety, autoimmune disorder, a never-ending battle with her weight. As Pollack puts it, “I was the queen of impeccable weekday eating and the impressive weekend binge.” So, it’s only natural then, that she’d go on to earn a Master’s Degree in Holistic Nutrition and be voted ‘Best Nutritionist’ in Austin for four years running. Right? Well, that’s not exactly the most obvious line of logic but Carly believes, “we often teach what we need to learn most.” That mantra bleeds through to every corner of her work. Pollack caries an impressive resume, having lectured all over the country for incredible companies like: Facebook, Whole Foods, Lulu Lemon and the Livestrong Foundation. And yet, she’s equally at home giving a small talk at the Sustainable Food Center or mentoring an aspiring entrepreneur at the Young Women’s Alliance. Her No-BS approach to creating lasting change is both uncommon and refreshing. You are in for a real treat with this interview. In this episode of Voices of Impact, Carly and I discuss the importance of asking high-quality questions. We talk about celebrating ‘small wins,’ as a means to combat ‘next-level syndrome.’ We tackle the subjects of behavior modification, emotional eating and spirituality. And Carly shares why traditional diets have such a high failure rate and what she and her team are doing to coach their clients back to health and happiness.

In our first episode, hosts Kyle Frazier and Whitney Torres interview Ronda Rutledge, Executive Director of the Sustainable Food Center (SFC). Ronda explains her personal connection to SFC’s mission, the community-based programs they offer to improve food security and sustainability in Central Texas, and how they achieved a four-star rating through the Austin Energy Green Building program with solar power, rainwater catchment, and xeriscaping. Finally, she shared information about how to support SFC at their upcoming annual Farm to Plate fundraiser, which is happening on May 9th (tickets available here).

For twenty-five years and counting Austin's Sustainable Food Center has been providing a healthy connection between the farmers of Central Texas and Austinites. With programs such as their weekly farmers markets giving farmers and customers a chance to interact with each other, to the Happy Kitchen sharing the joy of cooking, and many more programs. The Sustainable Food Center is on a mission of cultivating a healthy community here in Austin, Texas. Charlie & Kyle sit down with Joy Casnovsky, the Deputy Director of the Sustainable Food Center and chat about the perks of buying from local farms, how cooking with fresh ingredients not only tastes better but also is better for you, and how the Sustainable Food Center bridges the gap between the urban and rural communities.
