Spring has sprung!

And Hearth and Hollow owner Dusti Arab is passionate about helping people grow their own food.

She sells what she cultivates herself in her edible-plant nursery and is also a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) grower. She says planting and growing food isn’t just for spring — it’s an all season activity.

Her entire operation is run out of her home in Vancouver, Washington, essentially in her backyard. She doesn’t have a brick and mortar retail outlet, focusing instead on selling at the Vancouver Farmer’s Market on Saturdays and growing the edible-plant CSA.

Arab also teaches workshops and maintains a food access resource guide for Clark County.

She joins us to share more about her edible plant work and her hunger relief efforts.
