Estelle Berger – Subsidized Coordinator
Year: 2016
Concentration: Urban Studies
Hometown: Portland, OR
Veggie Identity: Delicata squash, because it’s warm and autumnal and it has an exotic name. It’s delicious as a soup, roasted with cinnamon (or cayenne pepper), on top of a pizza, in an omelette…the list goes on. And in the end, regardless of its environment, it’s still just a squash, and it remains true to that.
