On Sunday, Boulder-based Farm Eats Direct (FED) food truck and Moxie Bread Company in Louisville worked together to offer food to those who are displaced. FED offered frittata, grilled cheese, soup and other warm meals to those in need. Moxie provided bread, which was prepped the day the fire broke out. The bakery also offered coffee, nuts, and lasagna, and planned to make pizzas to hand out.
This story will seem like a bit of an aside, but on December 30, 2021, the Marshall Fire tore through parts of Louisville and Superior Colorado, destroying nearly 1000 homes and businesses. We live in Lafayette Colorado (Louisville is our neighbor to the west) about 4 miles from where the fire finally stopped spreading when the unusual hurricane force winds which propagated the fire across our drought stricken suburbs finally subsided.
Moxie Bread Co. and Andy Clark, both in Louisville and covered in this article and video clip, are a cornerstone in the Grain Chain out here in Colorado. We need more Andy's, Moxie's, Donna's and FED's in times like these.
