| Your Gift to Aruna: Nourishing Those Who Nourish Us |
When you support CUESA, you are helping to create a food system that works—one that makes healthy and delicious food available to all, and supports the people who make it possible. In the increasingly expensive Bay Area, community support at CUESA’s farmers markets has become a vital ingredient for many small food entrepreneurs’ success.
This month, we’re featuring inspiring members of our community who are growing the healthy world we want to see. Today we want you to meet Aruna Lee, the founder of Volcano Kimchi. Aruna joined CUESA’s Saturday Ferry Plaza Farmers Market two years ago as a pop-up vendor, offering new twists on the Korean ferments of her childhood, using produce from local farms. CUESA’s farmers markets have brought her business broad exposure to new audiences and a support network as she builds the business of her dreams.
Aruna shared her story about what your support has meant to her as she grows Volcano Kimchi, while nourishing our community. |
