The Rockwood Legacy…

“FOOD IS A VALUABLE TOOL. IT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER, ENCOURAGES SHARING, KINDNESS, AND LOVE. IT REPRESENTS OPPORTUNITIES TO CONTINUALLY LEARN AND EDUCATE OURSELVES AND EACH OTHER. I BELIEVE THAT NOW IS THE TIME FOR US AS A PEOPLE TO START MAKING SOME CHANGES. LET’S CHANGE THE WAY WE EAT, LET’S CHANGE THE WAY WE LIVE, LET’S CHANGE THE WAY WE TREAT EACH OTHER. WE CAN ALL SEE THAT IT IS ON US TO DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO SURVIVE AND MAKE OUR WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR OUR CHILDREN, AND OUR CHILDREN’S CHILDREN.”
