Welcome to
Community Corner!
This is a blog for us to share more with you about food, whether that’s suggestions for food to get when getting groceries, information about composting and gardening, or shedding light on where systems are not serving food producers or consumers. We’ll also share a brief summary from workshops when we can. Posts are currently scheduled for every other Wednesday - stay tuned!

seasonal produce
As we move into colder seasons, it’s the perfect time to bring squash into your kitchen! Wholesome and comforting, there are a variety of foods you can make including squash. Our Farm Manager, Shane Nelson, wanted to share his insight on the squash we grew on the farm at the Hillside Hub this year. Check out the celebrity profiles he wrote up for the squash below!
September is one of those in-between months that feels like neither summer nor fall. (So far, it definitely has felt more like summer than fall!) Enjoy summer’s bounty while it’s still here (peaches and plums will be out of season before the end of the month) and get excited because it’s finally pumpkin and winter squash season!
August is one of the most bountiful months of the year! Check out what produce is in season this month.
When attempting to keep cool, we often think about what we can do, rather than what we can consume. Although fans, drawing the blinds and drinking more water are all great strategies to stay cool during the summer months, what we eat and drink can make a huge difference as well.
There are a multitude of benefits to eating seasonally: eating produce that is in season is fresher, it tastes better and is even more nutritious! It also allows for a varied diet in accord with the Earth’s changing seasons.
