‘Everyone can and should grow their own food,’ says Vancouver nursery owner, and not just in spring

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, 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.
