Downtown San Leandro Market

Raquel is a young food justice advocate pursuing a degree in sustainable agriculture and food systems. Apart from writing, she personalizes scrumptious vegan soup recipes and works on an urban farm in the East Bay. She polishes her Spanish (and her moves) at Latin dance socials and bikes the Bay Trail at sunset. After wet winters you can find Raquel on a forest hike, foraging for apricot-orange chanterelles, her favorite fungus for biscuit baking.
