The Hoop House Farms
Last weekend I had a great time with my mama in town. We hit up the Rosie O’Donnelle show, did some shopping, I was able to do some home cooking, we hung out and she was able to witness the filming of our new video to be released within a couple weeks. Friday we were able to go to Growing Home’s Urban Farm in South Chicago. They are a great non-profit organization that builds urban farms to help boost economic activity in communities and provide local, fresh, organic produce in areas that are considered food deserts. They even create jobs for those who may have troubles finding employment due to homelessness, previous incarceration, or past substance abuse. They were super friendly on our visit and their farm was BEAUTIFUL!!! So well organized, clean, and colorful. It was the coldest day that we have seen thus far in Chicago but the sun was shining. The next morning we followed them to the Green City Market up at the Penny Notebaert Museum. Walking around the market both inside and out, was very refreshing. It was amazingly warm and sunny out so it made for a beautiful morning. We walked around the market, picked up some delicious local fresh produce and were ready to get back to the kitchen for the lastest creation. Stay tuned for the video and you will have a yummy new recipe to try out this winter! I know it was a favorite of many last year :)
