What’s your role/what do you do @ THC?  

I grow food, with the farm team, in our community gardens and greenhouses. Our team and these spaces bring people together and connect individuals to where food comes from while providing access to healthy and colorful produce.

Good food is… slow…eaten around a crowded table or fire, somewhere that feels wild or just like home. Grown nearby, charred or braised, skewered, salted and drizzled with local honey. Most importantly, good food is shared.

Best meal you’ve made with produce from Bloom or Hope (recipes much appreciated!)
