Out of the Box inspires and guides you to prepare healthy, delicious and easy meals based on locally grown ingredients. The recipes all come from meals prepared in our home using fresh produce grown by our CSA (community supported agriculture) Devon Acres Farm.
The recipes take you on a journey through the seasons, from Garlic Scape-Arugula Pesto in the spring, through New Potato and Green Bean Salad and Broad Bean Falafel in the summer, to Quinoa Stuffed Pumpkin in the fall.
Cooking with produce that is in season means that your food tastes better because it was picked locally when it was fully ripe, rather than being transported thousands of kilometers and artificially ripened on a truck. It also saves you money because the ingredients don’t have hefty transportation costs attached to their price tag. Finally, eating locally produced fruits and vegetables supports your local farmers and your local economy. There are so many benefits to eating this way, find out how by purchasing your own copy of this cookbook.
The recipes found in this cookbook are usually suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets and can be easily adapted for omnivores with the addition of a little of your favorite lean animal protein.

Hi Rachel,
Thank you for the presentation at the library on Wed. evening. I am always interested in learning more about healthy eating. It continues to amaze me that there is such a need for education in this area of living. It can be so simple to eat in a healthy way. I appreciate hearing about Devon Farms and Oakridge Acres Country Meat Store. Glad you are out there influencing people in the right direction.
Janet
