Food is fun, so is Purple Asparagus!
(If we weren't, would we be named that?)

Purple Asparagus is dedicated to bringing families back to the table by
promoting and enjoying all the things associated with good eating.
By sharing food, we strengthen family and community ties, support local
farmers and producers, gain respect for the earth and for the diversity
of cultures all over it, and pass important traditions on to the next
generation.

We seek to be a primary resource in our community for food-related
activities, education and fun for families of all kinds.
