While working as a chef, I was also sourcing all of the

local produce for the restaurant to inspire seasonality in the menu.

After working as a chef in L.A. for 5 years, I fell in love with the

amazing bounty Southern California has to offer.

My experience working in the kitchen enables me to work with

private chefs and give households access to the same amazing

product.

Farmer’s markets can be a little out of the way from the long lines, to the limitations of it not being a “one stop” shopping.

This led me to start Hand Picked by McKenna

where I take my chef and produce experience

to curate a farmer’s market experience into one simple box.
