Hi, I'm Ashley!

I'm a local food researcher, foodie, and busy graduate student. I started Lester's Eats as a place to share good eats, using fresh, local ingredients that go straight from Lester's Farm to the kitchen. Each new recipe will highlight locally grown produce, which at the time of each new blog post, will be in season and flying off the shelves at Lester's Farm Market! You will also find nutritional facts and storage and selection tips with some of the recipes. 

The recipes  shared on this blog are authored by myself,  or other wonderful blog contributors, such as Sydney Rice, creator of Little Island Baker (check out her mouth watering instagram account!), and she is also one of the many amazing staff you'll meet at Lester's Farm Market!

Thanks for dropping by!  Enjoy!
