The Community Supported Agriculture model allows small farmers to get a financial boost at the beginning of the season when their supplies for the year are purchased, and allows CSA members to get regular deliveries of the best and freshest local vegetables.
Carol Mollet of Sweet Annie’s Farm offers CSA shares for pick up at 4 possible locations — including here at Kitchen Culture, every other Thursday from 3-6pm, from May 14 through November 12. (Pick ups are also available at Ross Island Grocery, 45th Parallel Wines, and Vivienne Culinary Books.)
Your farmer, Carol, loves curating the shares, mixing veggies that could go well together in a meal, and giving diversity in flavors and textures. Each share comes with a cheery email including vegetable information and recipes.
CSA registration and payments can be made by contacting the farm directly at sweetanniesfarm@gmail.com.

Learn how to preserve the bounty! Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares can be abundant this time of year, and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all that fresh, seasonal produce. This beginner-friendly canning class will help you make the most of your share by teaching you how to preserve peak-season fruits and vegetables for the months ahead.
This hands-on workshop will cover the basics of safe water bath canning, including proper techniques, food safety, and recommended tools. You’ll make and take home your own jar of something tasty and gain the skills to do it again on your own.
Tickets for this class are offered on a $10-$75 sliding scale. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Space is limited. Register here: https://www.pnwcsa.org/event-details/learn-the-basics-of-canning-a-hands-on-workshop-2

Did you know that twice a month our neighborhood association coordinates meal service for nearby shelters? Want to help? Prepare meals with us at Kitchen Culture! We’ll gather the ingredients and put you to work peeling and chopping or boiling and baking. Our space is limited, so please register here if you’d like to attend. It’ll be a fun afternoon to meet some neighbors and do something good for your local community.
Please understand that by registering you are committing to attend and seeing the cooking process through to the end. When people sign up but don’t show up, we run the risk of leaving people unfed.
Note: We share the cost of this effort with the Foster-Powell Neighborhood Association. If you are able, we encourage you to contribute a little bit to the cost of this project as you register. However, if cost is a barrier, please do not let it deter you from participating. When you sign up, our site will ask you for a “billing” address, but you will not be asked for payment information unless you’ve chosen to donate.

KitchenAid® stand mixers were built to last. But after many years of making Grandma’s sugar cookies, this machine, like any other, needs some basic maintenance. To support that, we’re offering a KitchenAid® mixer maintenance service. Drop off your KitchenAid® stand mixer at Kitchen Culture during shop hours on Tuesday or Wednesday, September 8-9 to receive full maintenance service. Your mixer will be available for pick up on Friday or Saturday, September 11-12.
The service will include opening up the unit to inspect, replace the gasket, and re-grease the gears with food-safe grease; inspecting and adjusting the head locking mechanism; checking and adjusting the blade height and pivot point mechanism; checking the electrical cord; inspecting, cleaning and adjusting the speed switch; thoroughly cleaning the exterior of the machine and polishing the surface to make it look almost new.
Please review the details below to learn if this service is a good fit for your mixer.
The maintenance service detailed above costs $125. If replacement parts are needed, they may involve an additional fee. (For example: $15 for speed or head locking lever, $15 for new rubber feet, $20 for worm drive gear)
KitchenAid® stand mixers that are eligible for this maintenance event are Tilt Head models: Classic, Classic Plus, Ultra Plus, Artisan and Lift Bowl model: Heavy Duty. Other models may not be eligible. Please read details below.
Your stand mixer must be able to turn on.
You will need to bring the bowl, wire whisk and flat blade attachments along with the machine.
Yes! We can sharpen your kitchen knives. Bring them by the store any time we’re open and we’ll have them sharp and ready for pick up within 72 hours. Cost is $10 per knife, due upon pick up.

We need a break! (No, not from you, Silly. YOU are fabulous. 😍) We’re horribly overdue on a dozen shop projects, are resetting our entire inventory system, and could use a quick recharge before we head into late summer events.
We’ll be closed for a week, but will reopen on Friday, July 31 with regular hours. We won’t be answering the phone, but you can use the Contact page on our website for urgent questions or requests.
Running a small business is hard! Thank you for your understanding.
