- I'm a 31 who recently moved back to Cleveland after living in Minneapolis for 7 years. I was introduced to local markets and respect for those who grow and cultivate food in Minnesota. I'm an avid cook who pre plans his weekly meals based on what looks fresh at the markets. I am very interested in learning, helping, and supporting the local agriculture scene. I had my first "major" garden this year and grew (no pun) a greater respect for those who make a living this way.
