recipes you can make with fresh herbs!





I love food and a great way to give flavor and make your food come to life is by using herbs! four recipes that I definitely would like to make is tacos with cilantro and cayenne peppers to give it some of that spice! Taco recipe yum!

I also think that guacamole would be great with some lemon thyme and all the other goodies you mix up to make a good guacamole.

The next recipe is garlic bread.garlic bread
The last recipe I'm going to share is fresh pesto made with basil leaves which goes great on any pasta. Pesto Sauce

Sustainability visit



1. What is your name and your role here at the community garden?
Wendy (GARDENER)
2. Why do you choose to shop garden here and support this CSA?
Because I like to garden as a hobby and I love the taste of fresh organic tomatoes.
3. When did you first start coming here?
9 years ago.
4. Do you garden at home and why?
No I do not because I don't have the yard space needed.
5. How did you find out about this place?
Riding my bike, I came across the the sign of OB Community Garden.
6. What would be your advice to get others to do what you do?
Have a lot of time and get information from the Internet in how to garden so that you do a good job from the start.

What struck you about the location you visited? Was it what you expected, or very different?
I chose to visit a community garden and it was just what I expected because it had all these plants, fruits, and vegetables grown around.
Do you think you will start going to a farmers market more often? Or using a community garden? Or supporting a CSA?
After looking at the garden I think I will start to because you can save money and I also heard that the fruits and vegetables you get from there taste so much more fresh and delicious.

How do these locations fit into our essential questions of “Why Don’t People Live More Sustainably?” and “How Can I Convince them to do So?”
Because some people try to live sustainably by growing their own vegetables.
