June 2008 – Ruscombe Mansion Community Health Center

According to Wikipedia “The Codex Alimentarius (Latin for “food code” or “food book”) is a collection of internationally recognized standards, codes of practice, guidelines and other recommendations relating to foods, food production and food safety under the aegis of consumer protection. These texts are developed and maintained by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, a body that was established in 1963 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the World Health Organization (WHO). The Commission’s main aims are stated as being to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the international food trade. The Codex Alimentarius is recognized by the World Trade Organization as an international reference point for the resolution of disputes concerning food safety and consumer protection.” Doesn’t this sound great? “Food safety, consumer protection, fair trade…” And look who is behind this reference work: respectable institutions like WHO, UN, WTO! Where can I sign to support this honorable 40 plus year project? Continue reading “Codex what?”

Meet Chef Zion! “I am a dedicated culinary student with a deep love for farm to table cuisine. I love to forage, commune with my friends and neighbors, and celebrate life through the exchange of culture and love.

“My culinary journey began by creating low-cost meals for my siblings as our parents worked to provide for us. Paired with a love, an ancestral connection to farming, and several years in restaurants and cafe management, my cooking style emerges at the brilliant intersection between farming and culinary exploration. I am honored to offer farm fresh and nutritious lunch and meal prep services to the Ruscombe and Coldspring community.

“I am on a mission to reignite a passion for food education, culinary life skills, and bodily sovereignty into the lives of all Baltimore neighbors. I hope you’ll join me, and my collaborating chefs, at Ruscombe Community Health Center on for lunch from 11-3.”

Testimonials

From Christa Griggs:
Ruscombe has been the perfect place to start my healing practice. From day one, I was met with such enthusiasm about my Spiritual Healing modality and I continued to be supported in this way throughout my time there. What worked so well for me has been: 1) Rental Space Flexibility/Variety — custom schedule, full/part time, full/partial/start up space, 2) Pricing Model — with so many options, I could find the right fit for my start up budget, 3) Sacred Space/Amenities — this is a healing space on healing grounds so there is an implicit respect, as well as the necessary amenities to support my practice, and last but not least, 4) Lovely Support — the staff/community is warm, welcoming and available to assist! Thank you, Ruscombe!
