Healthy interactive cooking workshops for families take place at Everyone’s Harvest Certified Farmers’ Markets. The workshops are part of Everyone’s Harvest Edible Education for Healthy Youth program. Grant-sponsored by the Nancy Buck Ransom Foundation and Project 17, the workshops are free to the public and participants receive market vouchers to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables to prepare a healthy dish at home. Everyone’s Harvest’s goal is to promote healthy eating.
Families come into Everyone’s Harvest outdoor kitchen at the Farmers’ Market, and along with a professional chef prepare a healthy recipe to enjoy on-site.
Our 2012 Cooking Workshop schedule is coming soon – Stay Tuned!
