Attention Yokota Friends! This beautiful selection of kale on my cutting board is LOCAL AND ORGANIC. How did I get this you ask? Well, first you should follow on Instagram and then pick up some of this goodness at Joy Marche (the cozy indoor farmers market in the gardening section of Joyful Honda), OR better yet, send them an email at [email protected] and buy directly!
