I'm your host, Mary Lewis. Today I'm talking with Angel at Feeding Feasible Feasts. And you're in Washington state, right, Angel? Yes, I am. Okay. Awesome. How's the weather in Washington state? It is, well, where I am in Washington. It's beautiful today. Yeah. 00:26 Good. was a very, it's very warm here in Minnesota. It's very muggy. Midwest. Yeah. It's going to be warm out there. Are you in the Midwest? Did you say Minnesota? Yes. 00:43 Yes, it's really muggy. It's gross. And that's par for the course for July 2nd. I don't know why I'm even saying it out loud. Everyone knows it's muggy in Minnesota in July. So tell me about yourself and Feeding Feasible Feasts, because I am so curious to know what you guys do. Well, I'll give you a short version. I'm a little on the older side, so I've done quite a bit in my 01:11 I guess in my world, in my life. Uh, let's see here, uh, born in Chicago, 1961. So, uh, here before women could vote and black folks to vote and all of that, uh, moved here to the state of Washington, uh, Seattle, Washington. And let's see, that would have been 20 or no, 1989. We moved here. Uh, my husband and I, and we have seven children that are all adults. 01:40 Opened my first business here. Well, my second business. First business here was a promotional products company and had some pretty nice contracts with large companies. Developed a transportation model where we folks could get online and order their promotional products and have them delivered directly. So we did that with Labor Ready and True Value and some of the large companies out here. 02:08 I sold that company, moved on to real estate. My mother got very ill. So I had her here. So I went into real estate so I could control my schedule. fairly well with that until the downturn in the economy at a time. So I sold my book of business and moved into another arena here in Washington state at the time was a pretty hot topic, which was recreational cannabis. My husband in his years growing up. 02:37 enjoyed recreational cannabis. I myself never and still haven't tried it, but really felt that the medical part of that unit to be examined and supported. I became an advocate, joined our liquor control board as a board member to help with oversight for that particular industry. We still, we actually have at this point two retail cannabis licenses. 03:05 that we have in another county, not where we live. And I sit on the board here for the Washington Food Coalition, which is a coalition designed by congressional districts. And I am the representative here for that. As well as I had a chair with our city here for economic development on their advisory board, as well as I was a political delegate this year during the 03:35 the political race. And now we are feeding feasible feasts. It came about because I am a heavy gardener. garden, we have a pretty good swath of property here. I garden my entire portion of my house yard is a garden. So I produce quite a bit of food. And one of the things we do with feeding feasible feasts is we do teach folks how to can, freeze, hydrate, 04:05 You know, how to preserve food. I have about 16 fruit and nut trees in my backyard and two in my front yard. During the time of COVID, well, before all of that, I discovered that my neighbors didn't actually like zucchini as much as I thought they did. So I had to come up with a better method of, you know, finding a home for all of the food and found a national organization. I don't know if you know about it. It's called Food is Free. 04:35 And it is built for people like me, gardeners like me, who just produce way more food than they're ever going to eat. And you, it's a simple concept. You just put a card table on a corner with a sign, handwritten, if you like, that says food is free. Put the food on the table and people who drive by can take whatever they like. Awesome. I didn't know about that. It's a national movement. It's actually, we have several pods of that movement here in Washington state. 05:04 part of the effort during Kovac to rescue, had a potato onion problem at the top of Kovac when the schools closed down and restaurants closed down. Our farmers were not able to sell all of the produce. And so we did a huge rescue movement at that time. Several of the large food agencies here and lots of small ones like mine at the time drove over to Eastern Washington and we brought over, I don't know how...
