Mindful Eating and Seasonal Cooking
Community Farm Chef Joining Us Together in Harmony with Nature
Kori’s class was a blast! We met some great people and had a lot of fun learning how to make sushi from scratch. It was really cool to create all the different fillings ourselves, and a lot of it was farm-to-table, which made it even better.

Kori put my end-of-season sweet corn in her venison pot roast for an early fall farm crew lunch. GENIUS.

The best meal I’ve had in a long time. And Kori teaches gently about eating for better health.

A beautiful experience, powerful healing. Haven’t felt nourished like that, like ever. Kori was in the flow, making sure everyone was at ease.
