Break Bread not Hearts presents "Play With Your Food!" Participants will exchange knowledge and learn about the benefits of local farmers markets and eating seasonally. An understanding will be gained in regards to how the foods we eat arrives to our tables from a farm. Nutritional benefits will also be shared. As a group we will proceed to prepare a dish from available local produce as well as a simple dessert for a hand-on delicious learning experience. The goal is the foster "Cooking Up Community."
Rooted in a desire to share Love through Food. Break Bread not Hearts formed as a collective camaraderie of connected ideas and approaches towards providing food within a sustainable manner.
