A couple weeks ago, we had a group of 10 who joined us at the farm for a workshop led by Lexy Vogel, longtime Crabtree volunteer and dietetics intern. During the workshop, participants learned about making food choices that support the overall health of one’s body as well as the earth. It was a lovely evening of lively conversation which culminated in the creation of an antioxidant-rich dish using local ingredients. This butternut squash curry recipe is what was created and it was DELICIOUS.
