The Story Of Stone Soup
Stone Soup is a tale surrounding three travelers, a village, and a community which comes together to help those in need. In the story three hungry men come to a village with nothing but an empty pot. The men asked several villagers for something to eat but never receive a crumb from the stingy villagers. The three decide to fill the pot full of water and place a stone in it. When one villager asks what they are doing, a traveler replies that they are making stone soup. The villager decides that he can part with a small amount of his food stores and he adds a little to the pot. Several of the villagers follow suit, and by the end of the tale, a community had come together to create a feast for those in need.
The story of Stone Soup epitomizes what Spoons, Soups & Salads holds as one of its most core values: working with the community to help those in need. For five consecutive years, owner Tom Stoner, along with the Spoons' crew, have reached out to local farmers and the farmer’s markets in the area to collect produce for our own version of Stone Soup. And, the farmers reached right back. Contributions from Miller Farms, Grant Farms, Local Roots Farms, and many local back yard growers helped to create this year’s Stone Soup!
