Good Food Winners in the Shop!

An annual event, The Good Food Awards recognizes, celebrates and empowers food creators that make delicious food with responsible ingredients. They recognizes food crafters who demonstrate outstanding taste and a deep commitment to building a more sustainable and just food system. Jon was able to attend the ceremony, meeting many artisans and tasting so many great bites.
