Cookalong with Kate!

People preparing food at an outdoor event under a canopy, with a food truck in the background.

During visioning last fall, we heard from staff an overwhelming desire to connect even more with our neighbors and friends; to cook more with our community and to increase knowledge about cooking seasonally with farm fresh ingredients.
We asked the community what they wanted to cook, and here we are!

Welcome to the year of the COOK-ALONG!

We share gratitude with Chef Melissa Garrett of The Hive: The Indigenous Collective for her mentorship of our team.
