Green Visions: jobs, fresh produce and blueberries - Seeds of Success indeed

Community Action Duluth/Facebook

If your only option to get to the grocery store is to walk 3-4 miles roundtrip, maybe with your kids, you could be forgiven for perhaps deciding to grab some food at a convenience store instead.

But Community Action Duluth - specifically the Seeds of Success program - is combating the "food deserts" in some parts of our community with farmers markets featuring locally grown food, and designed specifically to help folks get the most bang - or blueberries - for their buck.

More information about the Seeds of Success program, including how to get involved, is available here on the website, here on their Facebook page, or by calling (218) 726-1665.

Lisa Johnson started her broadcast career anchoring the television news at her high school and spinning country music at KWWK/KOLM Radio in Rochester, Minnesota. She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
