🌕🌱🚀 When Veggies, the Wolf Moon, and Space All Align

This first full moon of 2026 is also a supermoon — the Wolf Moon — a fitting moment to start the year by resetting what we notice and what we normalize. Traditionally associated with awareness, resilience, and paying attention to what sustains us, it’s the perfect backdrop for

#TheBigVeggieTakeover, which asks us to look at our food system differently.

This month’s photo is blue kale growing on my desk. It’s there on purpose — for me and for my grandkids. It’s a small reminder of where food really comes from, and that it can come from all of us, wherever we are.

(Shout out to Lettuce Grow for making it easy to grow food in everyday spaces.)

That’s how habits — and culture — actually change.

What I appreciate most about #TheBigVeggieTakeover, led by Josey Crane Burrows, is that it understands this at a systems level. If all we see is junk, that’s what gets normalized — especially for kids. Changing what we see is one of the most powerful levers we have to shape health, curiosity, and long-term outcomes.

This year, that idea also intersects with my love of science and space. With Macie and the Magic Beans releasing in the coming weeks, Macie and the Magic Rocket Seeds launching this spring, and Farmer Lundyn’s hands-on SEEDS experiment kicking off this month to support our nonprofit, Access to Fresh’s food security and nutrition education work, we’re helping kids connect food, curiosity, and exploration — here on Earth and beyond.

Posting a veggie under the Wolf Moon may seem small, but small, visible actions — done together — have real gravity.

And in a year focused on reaching places with zero gravity, it’s grounding to remember what keeps us rooted, so the next generation can reach for the stars. 🌠

Grateful for the leadership and vision behind this initiative.

Count me in. 🌕🥬🚀
