Mission
While the printing of this cookbook was a wonderful accomplishment, and months of handwork completed, I wanted to take it one step further. So many people within the Fort Collins community helped connect me with people to cook with, generously opened up their homes to teach me how to cook, and shared with me an importance piece of themselves. As my way of thanks to the community, I am planning to sell my book and donate all the profits to a local charity called Friends of Happy Heart Farms. In this way, this project will make full circle through the community: taking information and experience from locals and turning it into something from which the community can enjoy and profit.
Friends of Happy Heart Charity / How to Donate
What is Friends of Happy Heart?
The vision of Friends of Happy Heart Farm is for everyone to have access to healthy food. To do this, they purchase vegetable shares from Happy Heart Farm CSA to give to low-income families and provide community support and education about where and how their food is grown, and how to prepare or preserve it.

The small margin of profit I make off of my cookbook goes directly (no middle man) into the hands of those leading the Feeding the Families program. The only way I benefit is by giving back to a community that has continually given to myself. **Note: Blurb.com allows the author to choose exactly how much profit they would like to make off of each book sale. Due to the high cost of printing a full-color photo cookbook, the base book price is set fairly high. While I desire to contribute as much as I can to the Feeding Families Program, I also want the book to be relatively affordable to those who purchase it. Thus, only $4.00 of profit will be made off of each sale. If you are interested in donating more please contact me for further information.
