meet the marvelous mm local founder ~ ben mustin

We are loving the resurgence of canning and are thrilled to have the founder of MM Local, Ben Mustin teaching a fabulous canning workshop at our June 2 event. Did you know they are the very first canning CSA of its kind? Our family has participated in their harvest share program and loved every bit of it. They partner with local family farms to can and preserve produce at peak seasons so you can all eat local and delicious year round. Yes, we love the sound of that too, as well as their thoughtful, inspiring values. 

We're pretty darn excited to have Ben as our first male Makerie teacher so get to know MM Local's very cool founder below.
