My guests Stephanie Nye and Kirsten Finberg are each lovely in their own right, but because they are longtime friends who work side-by-side at the Morro Bay Farmers Market each Thursday afternoon, they are magic together. Stephanie (aka Soupgangsta) is the brains behind Farmers Market Inspired Soups, a company she’s had for many years that feeds folks tasty soups made from produce she gets at the market. I first came across Stephanie’s work via her cookbook, Central Coast Farmers Market Soups, a beautiful love letter to our home and the agriculture it supports, plus recipes of course. Kirsten Finberg is another person I’d met once or twice but never had the chance to really get to know. She is the owner and baker behind Little Red Hen Bread, which makes wood-fired breads for sale at farmers markets and other local outlets. Kirsten is a firecracker with energy, brains, and humor to spare. The two of these ladies work at several farmers markets, but when they met at the Morro Bay Market, they knew they’d become friends, just like soup and bread. But NOT like cherries, as you’ll soon understand. Anyway, listen in and you’ll feel like you’re right at the table with us.
