Between 2021 and 2024, I gathered over 200 stories from community members at the 32nd Street Farmers Market through my Story Seeds stands. Stories have ranged from the first time at the market to the 633rd time; the joys and patience of seasonal eating to recipe inspiration; tastes of home to trying a new type of berry; family reunions to acts of kindness from a stranger. These stories are the foundation for my forthcoming book, Parking Lot Magic, to be released Fall 2025.
Combining personal memoir, research, and over 200 stories, interviews, and photographs from the 32nd Street Farmers Market, Parking Lot Magic explores the power of storytelling to build a shared sense of community and social responsibility. This book resonates with anyone seeking a deeper connection to the people and places that they call home.
