Farm to Fork with a Purpose

Food has the power to nourish, connect, and transform lives.

As a cooking instructor, cookbook author, and advocate for food equity, I’ve spent years teaching families in our community how to cook wholesome, affordable meals with fresh, local ingredients. Along the way, I’ve built deep relationships with Western New York’s best farmers, artisans, and chefs—people who share my passion for high-quality, seasonal ingredients and the belief that everyone deserves access to good food.

That’s why I created Harvest Kitchen—farm-to-fork meal kits and product line that brings the freshest seasonal ingredients from the 716 straight to your table. Each kit includes hand-picked produce from our partner farms, my own expertly blended spices, and thoughtfully curated pantry staples. These are the same ingredients I use in my own kitchen—now ready to bring bold, delicious flavors to yours.

But Harvest Kitchen is more than just a meal kit. It’s a movement. Every purchase helps support our Harvest Kitchen Community Educator program. The HK educators are community members who provide nutrition education and teach families living with food insecurity how to prepare nutritious, flavorful meals with fresh ingredients. By choosing Harvest Kitchen, you’re not just making dinner to feed your family—you’re investing in a stronger, healthier, and more connected community.
