    All proceeds will be donated to City Beet Farm's GoFundMe to support food donation's to Little Mountain Neighbourhood House. City Beet Farm is a local Vancouver organization that converts people's front lawns to mini-farms, growing fresh, local produce. Little Mountain Neighbourhood House's Food Hub distributes food to low-income residents around the Riley Park-Little Mountain neighborhood and beyond.

    More on their campaign:

    "At City Beet Farm we grow vegetables on front and backyards largely in the Riley Park-Little Mountain neighbourhood, and we love that many of our eaters live in the area as well. Unfortunately, not all of our neighbours have access to fresh, local veggies; so for the 2022 growing season, we're partnering with Little Mountain Neighbourhood House's (LMNH) Food Hub to bring our veggies to more members of our community.

    Please help us make this possible! If you're a member of our CSA, shop at our farm stand, or just love local produce and want to pay that love forward, please consider contributing to our GoFundMe. We'll use everything we raise here to provide fresh vegetables to LMNH throughout the growing season. Essentially, you're buying groceries for a neighbour who needs them!

    We're hoping to raise $6,000– the value of an additional 10 CSA shares. Can you help us reach our goal?!

    Here's a little more about Little Mountain Neighbourhood House and the programming these funds will support:

    The LMNH Food Hub is our response to our community’s increased emergency food needs and the ongoing climate crisis. Our mission is to create a local, community-led food system. We aim to reduce food insecurity in our community, and increase access to food in a way that promotes dignity, equity, respect and ecological diversity. We are dedicated to providing space to grow food, build community, and care for the land.

    The money donated to City Beet will be used to grow food that will be given to Little Mountain Neighbourhood House’s Food Distribution program. This program operates one day a week and aims to provide healthy, culturally appropriate fresh produce and non-perishable food items at no cost. In addition to receiving healthy food, our food distribution program provides the opportunity for community members to build connections to one another and to staff and volunteers at LMNH. It also provides a non-judgemental, low-barrier space where individuals who are experiencing food insecurity can come and feel welcomed and supported.

    Any extra donations that are not used to grow food this season will be donated to the LMNH Food Hub Programs. For more information on these programs check out their website at: web2.lmnhs.bc.ca/lmnhs-food-hub/"

about

This song is written from the perspective of a utopianist. They question how the rich can live with themselves, knowing that their lifestyles require the exploitation of other people and lead to peoples’ suffering. I think lots of folks superficially agree with the notion of mutual aid. But neoliberalism and capitalism have created western societies where people can separate their everyday actions from their consequences - because those consequences are “out of sight, out of mind” from the confines of a rich, white, suburban neighborhood (for example). Some even occur on the other side of the world (e.g., the deforestation of the Mekong in Indonesia for palm oil, the low-wage labor of factory workers in China). But something happened in the pandemic. The exploitation that happens under our noses became more obvious, e.g., the unlivable wages and high health risks of essential workers who run our society. The utopianist hopes that seeing this inequity more clearly may be enough to change some peoples’ hearts and minds and enable a more just world.

lyrics

We could have oasis if we wanted to
And we might live forever if we planned our route
But selfishness and isolation overthrew
And nearsightedness; willful ignorance rang true

So we won’t feel happy anymore
While we turn our backs on everyone else’s
No we won’t know happiness no more
‘Cause we left them all to live cold and wealthless
‘Cause we left them all to live cold and wealthless

So we won’t feel happy anymore
While we turn our backs on everyone else’s
No we won’t know happiness no more
‘Cause we left them all to live cold and wealthless
‘Cause we left them all to live cold and wealthless

Once we took a turn for the worse
We’re a long time gone
We’re left with no words for this Earth
Leaver cultures drown
Now you
Take what’s left and run

It’s a long, long way to run from here
So we’ll see you ‘til the sun burns its last flame
And swallows us we’ll all be whole again
