Cooking with Abundance and Ease: Summer Squash – iSe ofrece en español! July 23 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Summer squash is not only versatile in the kitchen and abundant in the garden, it’s also an important source of fiber and nutrients, especially when grown in healthy soils. Join the NOFA/Mass Food Access Team to learn how to make quick and nutritious meals with the summer squash from your garden harvests (or farm share). Anyone that attends the session can participate in making this delicious dish, and take home samples.

Hameed Bello, the owner of Agric Organics, will bring their mobile market for participants to purchase the ingredients in the recipe (and a few more goodies!) to take home. This workshop welcomes food assistance program participants – SNAP, HIP, WIC, and Senior vouchers – and is also open to everyone! It’s an interactive event that’s especially geared towards those who are new to working with harvest vegetables, and also those that have participated in farmshare events before.

During this event, The NOFA/Mass Food Access Team will review the benefits of food raised in healthy soil, demonstrate how to cook the recipe, and discuss how to use SNAP/HIP to access locally grown nutrient-dense food.
