Anna grew up in Buffalo, New York where
she lived until her wanton spirit drove her west in 1996.
The majority of her years were spent in the retail industry
learning about people.
In 2006 she decided to put the skills
from her retail history with her family background in Italian
cooking and became a personal chef. Since then, Anna has
enjoyed getting to know local farmers and mastering food
seasonality.
Anna treasures the relationships
she has made and the knowledge of local food in the Greater
Vancouver area. She donates her time and talents to many
local organizations and is currently a board member with
the Clark County Food System Council.

Growing up near farms in Brush
Prairie, Washington Lisa thought everyone's food came
from the garden, dairy, forests and rivers. It wasn't
until high school she realized this was not the way everyone
lived. With eyes closed and a smile on her face Lisa states,
"Everyone should taste a carrot just pulled from
the earth, and baby new potatoes...heavenly."
Lisa volunteers regularly
in the community and is a strong advocate for volunteerism
for all. "There is something for everyone when it comes
to volunteering", says Lisa.
