I just fished an orange peel out of the trash to put in my cocktail, and never has there ever been a more appropriate drink. #GoodBye2020

[Chelsey Simpson @ChelseySimply]

I know I’m not young anymore because the list of places I want husband and I to visit post-quarantine is just various doctors.

[Chelsey Simpson @ChelseySimply]

Also wishing we could hear from @bobwaldrop right now - on food sovereignty, worker’s rights, building a food hub from nothing. And he would have been the king of make-do home recipe sharing.

[Chelsey Simpson @ChelseySimply]

Honored @UrbanAgrarian was included! I’ve wished hard core that I had time to write-there’s so much to say about how our local food communities are responding to #COVID19 and what it means for the future. Glad that folks like @foodprintorg are on the job! https://t.co/mIbnLFQm0J

@mollz405 @MathyouBurch @UrbanAgrarian Always our champion! Thank you!

[Chelsey Simpson @ChelseySimply]

@eathere2 @UrbanAgrarian Aww, when the writer called, I didn’t put it to get that this was your new thing. Extra awesome.

[Chelsey Simpson @ChelseySimply]

No one I’d rather build a local food #COVID empire with.

Here's your current management team, friends, taking our meeting via @zoom_us, per social distancing. Some of us had ...
challenges. ❤️

Three years ago today I (@MathyouBurch) was parting ways w/ @ChelseySimply in the new Oculus after a food tour of Brooklyn & beyond (s/o @EssexStMarket) where we shook hands on her joining UA.... (1/3)

[Chelsey Simpson @ChelseySimply]

@andyokc Yes, yes. Sub-question: who among us is good enough to always re-brush their teeth?

[Chelsey Simpson @ChelseySimply]

@jenn_dilley Mine made comments about my body that bordered on creepy 🤷‍♀️

@realDenHoed @UrbanAgrarian @nondocmedia 👋 from another writer who moved from NYC back to Oklahoma.

[Chelsey Simpson @ChelseySimply]

This is real? We deserve all the plagues.

[Chelsey Simpson @ChelseySimply]

I already had several reasons to be pumped about this (in addition to being angry) - it will bring more traffic to @UrbanAgrarian and it will put the farmers market in a more central location, in a building that was BUILT in 1928 to serve as a farmers market.

[Chelsey Simpson @ChelseySimply]

Thanks @stevelackmeyer for helping me find two more reasons to be angry about this - 1) excluding farmers and customers from this decision was INTENTIONAL and 2) there’s grant money now supporting an inferior market opportunity for farmers.

[Chelsey Simpson @ChelseySimply]

@jenn_dilley I did this thing! I loved it so much I painted all four walls emerald in my next bedroom and all of the cabinets at @UrbanAgrarian. Then my husband and my business partner made me stop.

[Chelsey Simpson @ChelseySimply]

@jacquelynruth There’s a schnauzer under all that hair! This baby has been alone for a whiiiile. Let me know if you would like help connecting with a schnauzer rescue.

[Chelsey Simpson @ChelseySimply]

The only think of substance I accomplished at work today.

“I thought the movie was so beautiful… but it also makes me a little bit angry that they aren’t open about how much money it costs to run that farm.” https://t.co/CIbWL9uvjA
