Global Local Gourmet

Cooking up Delicious Adventures Far from Expected Yet Close to Home!

"Dining with one’s friends and beloved family is certainly one of life’s primal and most innocent delights, one that is both soul-

satisfying and eternal." - Julia Child

Mission Statement Global Local Gourmet is a community supported kitchen. We empower people through culinary education. Creating interactive programs and events around an appreciation of delicious food and lifestyle, we inspire sustainable communities through the pursuit of epicurean pleasure. With our partners, our goal is to show the interconnectedness of our world through food and culture while promoting business practices that respect the environment and each other.

"The essence of an [interactive community supported kitchen is] the relationship [is a] mutual commitment:

[We support the famer and transform the harvest into nourishing and delicious edible products and events.] The farm

feeds the people; the people support the farm and [we all] share the inherent risks and potential bounty."

Food Producers + Food Consumers + Commitment =Community Supported Kitchen and Untold Possibilities!!

1) Connecting with the food we put into our bodies can be undermined by industrial agriculture and "super" markets.

2) By participating in a CSK you "partner" with the farmer, the kitchen the person growing and preparing your food, and You create a direct connection with the foods that are part of your daily life.

3) A Community supported kitchen keeps your money local, supports independent farmers, food purveyors, artisans and connects you to your next meal.
