October 12, 2023: SFEB Potluck with Yolanda Burrell of Pollinate and Sonia Pang of Marina Gardens

In order to get ready to celebrate Slow Food USA’s Chicory Week and Collards Week in October, we highlighted leafy (and in particular, hardy!) greens for this month’s potluck. Whether fresh in a salad, braised, or sautéed, we celebrated the underrated diversity of greens! This year’s Plant a Seed kit also featured leafy varietals that thrive in cooler climates, so it wasn’t too late to start your own edible garden.

We gathered for an evening of community connection and conversation over a shared potluck meal with special guests Yolanda Burrell, founder of Pollinate Farm and Garden and Sonia Pang of Marina Gardens. Sonia and Yolanda shared their experiences growing greens, and we exchanged hints, tips, and best practices.
