Peach & Corn Salsa

As part of ASAP’s Farm Fresh for Health initiative, we partnered with community health professionals to bring you virtual demos to inspire cooking for yourself and your family. Caleb Gaydish and Aubrey Fleming, MedServe-AmeriCorps Fellows at WNC Community Health Services, take you on a tour of the ASAP Farmers Market and demo a late summer recipe.
