Through her personal and professional journey, Margie has realized that food choices should not be complicated or stressful. Food should provide pleasure and nourishment for the body and spirit. That’s why Margie works to:
  1. Promote purchasing from local food producers for fresh, flavorful food and beverage choices and development of community.
  2. Help people develop cooking and food preservation skills by offering hands-on cooking classes, demonstrations, instructional videos and tested recipes.
