One Box At A Time The following business will be conducted at the meeting: The election of new directors to the Board. In accordance with the by-laws of Tamarack Camps, the Nominating Committee met and designated the following list for election: First 2-Year Term Ending 2014 Jon Barth and Marissa Kresch Michigan-grown startup helps Detroiters eat healthy on a budget. Jackie Headapohl Managing Editor T hree local Detroiters and University of Michigan gradu- ates combined their passion for urban issues and healthy eating to create a business: The Detroit Bulk Co. (DBC). This food processing company will begin offering healthy, delicious meals to farm- ers' market shoppers in July. Jon Barth, 27, was working on degrees in public policy and urban planning at U-M, where he met his girlfriend Marissa Kresch, 23, and roommate Jordan Twardy, 26. They now live in Midtown Detroit. "Originally, we met on JDate.com ," said Kresch, who grew up in Farmington Hills and attended Hillel Day School of Metropolitan Detroit through eighth grade. "We both liked riding bikes and went on several biking adventures. That left us a lot of time to talk about our goals and dreams." Barth's dreams had to do with mak- ing a positive difference in Detroit. "My parents and grandparents grew up in Detroit, and I feel a sense of responsibility DBC's stuffed peppers DBC's veggie pizza to repair the damage done by time and people leaving," said Barth, who grew up in Oak Park and attended services at Congregation Beth Shalom. Kresch, a vegan, was always interested in food justice. "Food is central to com- munity and to health. Due to inequality and poverty, many people don't know how to eat healthy." That sparked the idea for their busi- ness."We want to feed ourselves well. We said, `Why don't we bring that to others?'" said Kresch, who also is a cook at Seva restaurant in Detroit. The DBC aims to empower people who don't have the time, money or skill to make healthy, delicious food in their own kitchens. "Nobody seems to cook from scratch anymore — instead we've seen a boom in restaurant patronage and frozen/ canned food purchases. In an area with high rates of obesity and heart disease, these options aren't helping': said Barth, who works as a community organizer at the Center for Urban Studies at Wayne State University. Co-founder Twardy concurred. "When a Big Mac is cheaper and faster than a salad, it's hard to eat healthy when money is tight. DBC is here to change all that with a product line that is taste bud and wallet friendly." The DBC offers convenient and inex- pensive products for even the most timid cook. The product line, consisting primarily of local and/or organically grown ingredients, will also provide a boost to Michigan farmers, they say. All products have been tested out on Twardy, who now works as director of programs at the 8 Mile Boulevard Association and is also interested in Detroit's revitalization. "If he can make it, anybody can:' said Kresch, who laughingly recalls Twardy's legion of cooking disasters at U-M.
