What a wonderful day at the pantry yesterday! 🍂🧡🎃
We had a special visit from our friends at Happy Place Cooking Space, who joined us for a fantastic cooking demonstration during pantry appts featuring roasted squash and a delicious butternut squash soup made with locally grown Wisconsin produce!
We are SO grateful for our partnership with Happy Place and the knowledge, creativity, and expertise they bring to our pantry. Throughout the year, we receive incredible donations from our local growers and producers, including Witte’s and Winterspring Farm. We love being able to bring Happy Place’s recipes and cooking expertise into the pantry to show our clients and volunteers all the wonderful ways to prepare, cook, and enjoy these amazing Wisconsin-grown vegetables!
And the fun didn't stop with the demonstration! Thanks to a generous donation from Witte's Vegetable Farm LLC Bridge Rd Cedarburg, we also had fresh squash available for our clients to take home! We love making it more than just providing fresh produce — it's about sharing ideas, building confidence in the kitchen, and helping everyone discover just how delicious and versatile these local foods can be!
And, of course, it wouldn't be a fall pantry day without a little Halloween fun! We handed out some wonderful Halloween goodies and even had delicious cut-up caramel apples from Sweettrio in Grafton for our clients to enjoy!
Days like these remind us how special our community is! A BIG thank-you to Happy Place Cooking Space, Witte’s, Winter Spring, Sweet Trio, and all of our amazing local growers, donors, and volunteers who help make days like this possible. We are so lucky to have you all in our pantry family! ❤️
