Locavores make soup for Lopez Fresh!

The Lopez Locavores love to feed our community fresh, organic, local food!   Today they were at it again cooking soup with ingredients from local farms and gardens for the Lopez Island Family Resource Center food bank.

Yummy winter soup for the new freezer at Lopez Fresh donated by the Locavores.

Bruce Botts graciously hosted todays cooking party at Vita’s commercial kitchen. Locavore members Christine Langley, Marney Reynolds, Nancy Wallace, Michele Heller and Sue Roundy made two soups: Vegetarian Squash Apple Bean and Squash Apple Bean with Ham.  Donating the organic soup ingredients were Bounty farmers Ken Akopiantz of Horse Drawn Farm and Christine of Lopez Harvest, and Lacavore members Marney, Michele and Sue.  The only non-Lopez ingredients were salt, pepper and olive oil!
