DEBORAH JOY COREY is an award winning writer and editor. While working on a story on Maine hunger, she was shocked by the fact that one in four children in Hancock County suffers from hunger. Her interest in food justice began when she was young and noted that classmates often had no lunch.
Corey comes from a strong Canadian culture of food. Her mother was an exquisite cook and baker, and her father was her first example of a farm to table enthusiast. He not only patronized local farms, but often supplied the seeds and supplies for farmers to begin their spring planting.
“Seeds and supplies were just the beginning,” Deborah says. “The growing and harvesting was all part of my father's respectful watch, and that was his excuse for drop-by visits, which he so enjoyed. During the spring, summer and fall months, I don’t think Dad ever returned home from work without fresh vegetables and fruit for supper. Then Mom would work her magic: a huge pot of hodgepodge, roast chicken, a strawberry pie. Sitting around our large table, it was as if the beautifully prepared and nutritious meal not only healed us, but it bonded us, and made us stronger as a family. This is my wish for Blue Angel. That my parent’s respect for farmers, and their love for cooking and traditions can be shared with others."
