The Grow Community Cookbook:
Sharing Homegrown Goodness

We believe the best creations come from close to home. The Grow Community Cookbook is a celebration of our local growers, bakers, makers, and homegrown culinary creatives who turn everyday ingredients into something special.

From backyard citrus-glazed cakes to honey-infused scrubs, this collection will highlight the flavors and makers that make our community unique.

Our goal is to create a collection that feels as warm and welcoming as a neighbor’s front porch. We want recipes that reflect the flavors, traditions, and creativity of our community—from cherished family dishes to the quirky, unexpected projects that make life a little sweeter.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • Locally-sourced creations
  • Culturally diverse dishes
  • Kid-friendly favorites
  • Seasonal and holiday highlights
  • Beyond edible recipes, candles, soaps, and homemade concoctions are welcome

If it’s made with care and a touch of local love, it belongs here.

We're cooking up good in our agrihood

We can’t wait to read (and drool over) what you’re cooking up.
