Did you know the Cannon County Food Bank doesn’t receive any state or federal money or grants to feed county residents in need? They rely solely on the donations of individuals, businesses and surrounding churches. Cannon County has a 35% participation rate among those eligible through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. The rest rely on donations and programs like our local Food Bank.
While President Trump’s cuts to Second Harvest Food Bank (affecting local church food distribution) and proposed cuts to SNAP (currently being voted on by Congress) won’t directly affect our Food Bank, it will indirectly drive many participants to rely more heavily on local donations through the Food Bank.
Because of recent state and federal cuts to assistance for those in need, our food bank is seeing an uptick in need and have asked us to be an official year-round food bank drop-off point.
Last Fall, Wellness Emporium – Woodbury customers stepped up in a big way donating hundreds of pounds of food to the Food Bank. We are open seven days a week and are located just one block down the road from the food bank, which is open three days a week for a couple hours a day. Being an official drop off point gives the public a place to drop off donated food items seven days a week.
Whether you support cuts to assistance programs or not, this is an opportunity to meet a need and show what moving this cost and responsibility to local residents, churches, and businesses looks like. We hope you join us in meeting this challenge for the better health & well-being of our community!

A wonderful article from the Cleveland Clinic outlines five health benefits of Lion’s Mane Mushrooms (hericium erinaceus). It’s kind of rare to find them fresh at a farmer’s market to eat raw, but you can also get them in a supplement form.
Definitely the cooler cousin in the fungi family (move over button and shitake), lion’s mane mushrooms (hericium erinaceus for the scientific set) have a long history in traditional Chinese medicine and in Native American healing practices. And because of the impressive benefits they may have to offer the mind and body, lion’s mane mushrooms have become increasingly popular.
“People are looking for alternatives for things before they go on medications,” says registered dietitian Beth Czerwony, RD, LD. “It’s in this holistic attitude that we find food is medicine.”
If you cannot find fresh Lion’s Mane to eat as a whole food, we suggest making sure the supplement you choose is from a brand you trust and made with 100% fully mature mushrooms, not quickly and cheaply grown mycelium on grain or other substrate. Some brands hide this cheaper method by using an image of the mature mushroom on their label while the ingredients clearly state the product you are consuming is powdered “mycelium” encapsulated with the growing substrates “rice” or “grain.”
Here are the highlighted health benefits of Lion’s Mane mushrooms from the article:
TURKEY TAIL MUSHROOMS: (Trametes versicolor – pictured here growing at Half Hill Farm® in Woodbury, TN) have been used for centuries for better health & well-being with modern science validating its substantial health benefits.
Immunity – Turkey Tail mushrooms are used mostly for its immune-boosting polysaccharides (polysaccharide K and polysaccharide peptide) that enhance the immune functions of white blood cells. Polysaccharide K improves survival rates of patients with certain types of cancer when used as an adjunct therapy by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and enhancing the body’s ability to fight cancer.Gut-Health – The natural prebiotics found in turkey tail mushrooms help nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut for a stronger immune system and better digestion.
Inflammation – Turkey Tail mushrooms are also rich in antioxidants, which reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. This helps prevent damage to cells which lowers the risk of chronic diseases while promoting longevity.
You can take fully mature Turkey Tail mushrooms as an encapsulated powder. You can also decoct it into a tea or liquid dual extract which removes the indigestible chitinous biomass.
WINTER SOLSTICE: Happy first day of Winter 2024 – the darkest day of the year!
