new art, fresh food, & cardamom chai chicken??

You are invited to the 9th Annual CSA Share Fair on Sunday, March 3rd at The Redd in SE Portland. I will have a table there from 10am-1pm with brand-new creations.

My new work illustrates some of the amazing food our farmers grow and raise, as well the home-cook’s power to transform ingredients into nourishing, delicious meals.

You can attend cooking demonstrations (see below) and sample the food, meet local farmers and purchase some of their products, and become a CSA member. More information at PNW CSA and a story about the event that gives more detail about your impact on the local economy when you join a CSA. 

CSA, or community supported agriculture, has grown a lot in the last few years. You have many options: Farmers offer weekly and bi-weekly shares, seasonal shares, customizable shares, and some even deliver to your doorstep.

In addition to in-season and height-of-flavor produce, you can also buy eggs, fish, and meats. There are even CSAs for mushrooms and flowers, which inspired me to try a new sticker design. Screenshot of digital proof:

Cooking demonstrations include:

Deepak Saxena of Masala Labs & DesiPDX 
Dani Morales of De Noche
David Propst and Elise Moore of ROAM PDX. 

I have not yet tried any of these amazing-looking restaurants, but I saw Masala Lab has “cardamom chai chicken.” What?!?!? Cardamom is one of my two favorite flavors. I’m looking forward to trying this when I get the chance.

Share Fair is free, friendly, and all about sustainable and delicious food. I hope to see you there!!

And, as always, thank you for reading and following along.
