thank you, whole foods!

As an all-volunteer community project, LOMB is a labor of love and we've been blessed by great volunteers, passionate guest chefs, and loyal attendees. Through the generosity of Whole Foods, we have also been blessed with a huge donation of food items for our pantry to use in our classes! Special thanks to Jo Ann Ekblad, who not only facilitated the donation, but has also donated starters for our classes as well! Thank you Jo Ann and Jennifer Fresquez of Whole Foods for helping us spread the word and inspire local, organic cooks in our community.
fun classes, seasonal recipes & tips you'll use
Many people want to include more organic and local foods in their meals, but feel it’s not within their budget. We’ll show you how to shop for and prepare delicious local, seasonal meals – for less! Eating organic and locally grown foods has a long list of benefits: it’s good for your health, the planet and the local economy. Educate yourself so you can make healthier choices. Classes consist of a cooking demonstration for a main dish, with recipes for suggested sides and desserts, along with useful information on where to buy ingredients locally, how to save money, nutritional facts, how to eat healthier and much more.

join our community of healthy, happy eaters
Local Organic Meals On A Budget classes are volunteer-run. This community enrichment project depends on people (like you!) who may be able to share your time, talents and energy to create a future class. We welcome all volunteers: from those who can demonstrate cooking a meal as a Head Chef, to assistants for the classes, shoppers for price comparisons, set-up/clean-up crew members, researchers, bloggers or help with other needs. Please contact us if you would be interested in becoming a part of this project. Thank you!
