Eat like a Farmer

Let's put up every single bit of what you bring home! How to avoid food waste for CSA members, gardeners, and farmers market shoppers. We've all been there: you bring home your groceries, put them away, and when you go to use them a few days later, the vegetables are going bad! So you toss them in the compost and go out to get more, only to repeat the whole process. It feels bad enough when it's lettuce from the supermarket, but what if it's expensive heirloom tomatoes from the farmstand down the road? Here's where I come in. I can teach you how to prep and store your vegetables so they stay fresh longer, and so you can take advantage of summer's bounty when it's in season and store food for later. I'll teach you all sorts of tips and tricks I've learned from my 10 years of farming organic vegetables, tips that my farm customers use and love. Want to eat local tomatoes when it's the dead of winter? Want to sneak a full serving of greens into your family's dinner? Want to use that alien looking vegetable you saw at the farmers market? Join me for a year of eating locally and we'll figure out together why daikons are amazing and what the heck you can do with those six cucumbers you forgot were in the back of your fridge. This class is for you if you have ever wanted to eat more locally but felt like you never had the time or attention to deal with the glut of food that comes in during the growing season. Tips and tricks are friendly for people with food sensitivities of all types, and the class comes with a built-in community of local food lovers. Does this sound like you? Come on in!
