Are you tired of having a long-distance relationship with your food? Tempted by the mounds of peppers, eggplants, tomatoes and squash at the farmers market and wondering if homegrown food is, in fact more delicious and nutritious than food from 1,500 miles away? Nutritionist, Acacia Larson, will discuss how long term storage, processing and travel affect the nutrients in our food; strategies to grow and eat locally year-round; and tips on how to store and cook produce to retain the most flavor and nutrients. Come share your strategies, tips and questions!
