Experience

Ida Yu is the program coordinator for Fresh Food Box at GrowNYC. She has spent much of her career working in farming and food sustainability. She's been interested in food her entire life—ever since she was learning the alphabet and could only pronounce 'k' as "cake." She loves making everything from scratch and she's willing to take on any baking challenge. She has hundreds of recipes bookmarked and she's planning to try all of them...someday.
