Did the show from Artisan Food Guild on 7th Street and Sheridan this week! Stop by to see them some time and check out all of their local products and art. Although Frank’s soup isn’t for sale yet, you may see it in the near future at a Market and Cafe he’s got in the works. This sounds tasty and so good for you. Emily loves kale, so there you go!
