Handpicked Kitchen is the fruit of my 10 years studying nutrition. I found myself face to face with a dishonest food system that leaves people incredibly disconnected from the food they consume. In an effort to learn more about how our food is farmed and processed and how this goes on to affect our health, I became determined to share this information with others.  

I also feel strongly that food is social and should serve to bring people together as much as it does to nourish our bodies. Therefore, I created a space where people can experience local food, learn about how best to nourish their bodies, and come together to create new connections and a sense of community.
