Here is a little video from class on Saturday. Everyone did a great job with Helen.
I forgot to mention that Cristina and John F also improved their Helen times. Sorry for the omission!
Here is a link to Mark's Daily Apple about the growing popularity of CSA's. Portland has a great selection of community supported agriculture farms that for a fee will supply you with a weekly allotment of fresh produce. It's the best way to eat seasonal, fresh and local produce!
Looking for a Portland CSA or market? Be sure to check out the Local Harvest website. It's packed full of information on farmer's markets and CSA's.
