WILL WORK FOR FOOD
I’m Claudine, a woman born in Manila, Philippines, raised in Memphis, Tennessee with a 5 x 8 storage unit in an undisclosed location.
I’ve spent the past 14+ years working in the food & farming world in various positions. In 2016, I went on (farm dinner) tour & met hundreds of hardworking farmers & thousands of hungry guests while a crew & I moved tables, chairs, rentals, & people from field to field. From development & fundraising, corporate & community partnerships, & the hundreds of farm dinners across the world—there’s one thing in common:
We all gotta eat, y’all.
I’m on a mission to get food to the people.
To help feed our neighbors & friends. To support farmers & steward land. To break bread & raise a glass. To lift hearts, amplify voices, & feed bellies to be their fullest. To share the stories of those before us, around us, & ahead of us.
Dear Farmers & Friends,
I recognize and honor the Native and Indigenous land stewards, protectors and caretakers who came before me. It is with humility and intention that I walk alongside our plant and animal Sisters and Brothers to share Harvest and nourishment to the Community.
Through my words and actions of reciprocity, it is my will and duty to replenish the gifts of Harvest. This is my promise to you.
With my whole heart, soul, blood and bones,
Claudine
