Join Our Fresh-From-The-Ground Produce Exchange!

A FREE friendly Long Beach community exchange of locally grown goodness.

I'm so proud to say that our first 2013 New Year Exchange was a GREAT SUCCESS!

On the 5th, we exchanged delicious varieties of Grapefruits, Oranges,  Lemons, Avocados, many assorted greens, Parsley, Oregano, Peppers and home-made bread!

Even better than the success of exchanging, however, is the wonderful feeling of a small community combining their efforts for the greater good of sustainability.  "They're a blessing, The Garden Angels are!  Free food supports a great feeling of abundance!"

The Garden Angels are good for the heart and soil!  We're networking with other groups of all kinds, creating bonds and circles of people who are contributing to the good health of our Earth.  We're helping one another in our quests to simplify lives by getting back to the basics...recreating "the good life!"  Eating healthy, homegrown foods is good for our families, our friends, communities and the fact that it's FREE only makes it that much better!

Whether you have a garden, a fruit tree, a veggie patch ~ no matter how big or small ~ you are invited to join our group and participate in our monthly exchanges. Even if you're not a grower, you can join us by donating your time in helping to sort, count and bag the contributions we get on exchange days. It's a win win situation, anyone and everyone can participate and receive a beautiful bag of farmer's market style fresh-from-the-ground goodness!

Hope to hear from you!

Hi Mark. I'll see if I can find out. Roughly what time and nearest landmark if any?

Prior to his election as a write-in candidate, Councilman Patrick O'Donnell told the Long BeachRead More Business Journal on February 28, 2012 the following:***** LBBJ: If you win the reelection, will you commit to a full four-year term?***** Councilman O'Donnell: If you run for four, you serve four. ***** LBBJ: So, you're not going to run for Assembly in two years? ***** O'Donnell: Correct. ***** LBBJ: No matter what? ***** O'Donnell: Correct. If you run for four, you serve four. ***** If you can't trust O'Donnell's word, why would anyone vote for him to be their representative for political office? ***** http://www.lbreport.com/news/jan13/odonlbbj.htm

And do his supporters care about this, do you think? No doubt others will.

Regarding, "do O'Donnell's supporters care?", many of O'Donnell's supporters are inRead More elected and appointed public positions, and their support of O'Donnell includes placing the financial burden of a $150,000 special election on the taxpayers. I would think that a responsible journalist would ask each of them about that issue.
This is what the new path will look like.

This opinion piece is so full of self-serving hot air it could float. Two paths will make the beachRead More look like a freeway? The author clearly hasn't seen too many freeways lately. Speaking of seeing, if the author would care to spend a little time looking at the beach (which I do on a daily basis, as I live overlooking the Bluff) they would realize that the current bike/pedestrian path is the most heavily used and enjoyed segment of the beach from the Belmont Pier to Shoreline Village. On any given day, there will be hundreds of people on the paths, compared with a handful on the sand itself. The author inadvertently makes that point when he or she writes that the beach "...should be valued for its own recreational value." Clearly, many more people enjoy walking, running or bicycling on the path than on the beach itself. Give the people what they want, and not what a mysterious, nameless, faceless group is trying to block.

Uh, Richard? Opinion pieces are by nature self-serving and one sided. I'm not saying that is agreeRead More with the opinion, just saying that gordana can have her say.
