JULY: 

Join us on 7.11 to hear Nina Yozell-Epstein share the story of her Santa Fe social enterprise, Squash Blossom.  A NM native, Nina has worked in food and farming both in NM and around the globe, including India, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Spain, and Italy. In 2010, Nina was back in NM piloting and pushing to great success a farm-to-restaurant program that blossomed under the umbrella of a few different nonprofits. By 2015, she was ready to stand on her own and test the market to see if this local food business could survive as a part of our food economy without grant support. That's when Squash Blossom was born.

We’ll gather at Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery, a combined brewery and distillery production space serving a wide variety of beer and spirits as well as a multifaceted taproom (music venue, outdoor space, cozy indoor atmosphere) and community hub since opening their doors back in April 2018.
