Review for Sunburst Unlimited Inc, Great Falls, MT, USA
This organization has been built on the dreams and inspiration of one man, with the consistent efforts of Board members and volunteers. It is the dream of Michael Dalton to bring local food sustainability to his community and the surrounding area. He has inspired and led all of us with his dream to create a foundation upon which to build and meet this goal. Composting in the elementary schools started in 2010 with the production of a product called bokashi. The event called the FRESH! Food Forum brings together growers and buyers and furthers a farm-to-school agenda. The Foster Tomato Program ensures that fresh food gets to the Great Falls Community Food Bank. The energy of this all-volunteer organization is amazing, and the progress continues toward gardens dedicated to the Food Bank, and the development of a licensed commercial kitchen and food processing plant. One of these days, we will have no food insecurity in our area!
