 On October 16th, I was honored to present a community proclamation to District 1’s Frisk Fra Boksen (Fresh from the Box), Ramsey County’s Farm Family of the Year. Frisk Fra Boksen owners Barb and Chris work to create low impact, sustainable fresh vegetables from their Shoreview location. Congratulations on the much-deserved recognition!

Shoreview, Mounds View and Maplewood Ramsey County Libraries are hosting a short-term pilot program where culturally appropriate, non-perishable bags of food are available cost-free for families to take home.
Besides food, included in the bags are information on local food resources, like meal programs and food shelves. The program has been paused to get the community’s feedback about how we can best serve food needs at the county’s libraries. However, Roseville Library’s Keystone FoodMobile is continuing to distribute food once a month on select Mondays.
In the meantime, if you, or others you know, need food resources, follow these links:
