We all had a great time preparing Japanese food for such an enthusiastic crowd. Thank you Lawrence patrons of the Downtown Lawrence Farmers’ Market!

Please let us know how you liked the food!

I will post the recipes on this blog in a few days.

The Japanese team cooked the following–

chirashi zushi (scattered sushi–rice with vegetables)

Kinpira (two ways)

1. with carrots and burdock root

2. with potatoes

Shira ae (mashed tofu with vegetables)

Green salad with sesame dressing

Thanks to our food suppliers: various market vendors, Central Soy Tofu, the Merc, Local Burger

Now for a few photos

Pioneers of Local & Organic Foods Event

June 28th, 2009
We had a great turn out for our first annual Pioneers of Local Organic Foods event. We hope those of you who attended had a great time. We’d love to hear your comments!
So sorry for the long wait for the food, but I think you would agree it was worth it. The Merc & Local Burger went all out to provide us with a feast. Thanks to the other food suppliers too–The Nice Cafe and Hillary Kass (whose cookies were heavenly!).
For a detailed report of the event and some great pictures of the awardees and food, look at the blog by Janet Majure

Community Gardens

June 3rd, 2009

We have a few small community gardens in Lawrence, but I would love to see a large garden managed by the city, county, or a board of some sort. How can we get this started?
