Carrot Fest was an Overwhelming Success!

I had a great time this weekend being a part of Carrot Fest. It was so nice to show people how to prepare food with ingredients that have surrounded them for years. I learned a ton about local farmers and want to spread the word about how important it is to support them.

With the carrots from the Holland Marsh we created carrot juice, carrot cream cheese, and cold carrot soup. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all the events visitors and it was wonderful seeing everyone dive into healthy food.

We were fortunate enough to have enough leftover food to donate to the local food bank. I would like to thank all the local farmers and carrot fest event planners for organizing such a great event.
