Sweet Home Chicago


This is just a quick doodle of radishes we received from the CSA program we joined for the summer. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Our CSA is Growing Home. Their mission is "to operate, promote, and demonstrate the use of organic agriculture as a vehicle for job training, employment, and community development." 
Once a week we pick up a variety of produce from Growing Home. They select it. It will be interesting to see  if some of the selections are out of our regular picks and will expand out palates. Since I'm a firm believer in"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" it's a perfectly delicious fit!

  3. Lovely radishes, now that fishing thing... I heard it differently... that if you teach a man to fish, that he'll spend his days sitting in a boat drinking beer... LOL

  4. This is a very appealing page. I love the interaction of the intense/crisp colors with the ink. Very nice!

  7. Barbara,

    Your radish sketch is beautiful! Thanks so much for linking to the FF.org CSA guide - I've just gotten access to our blog and tracking so am now aware of your link. I hope your Growing Home CSA turned out well for you. Shoot me a note if you'd like to talk about perhaps collaborating on something using your food sketches - grant@grantkessler.com.
