About this Event
Have you ever felt intimidated by local produce? What the heck is a fennel bulb? Why do my herbs go bad so fast? What can I do with all these radishes in my Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share? Local Chef Aaron Butts will show you how to properly prep, store, and create quick simple recipes using produce from local farms. If you’ve ever been intimidated by offerings at farmer’s markets or in your CSA, or if you’ve let produce go bad because you’re not sure what to do with it, this workshop is for you!
