Education & Classes
Food access for all is at the core of our mission, as is building relationships between consumers and who is growing/producing their foods. What better way to combine these two goals then offering educational classes and resources, taught by market vendors, focused on growing and producing your own foods? This page will house educational videos and resources as well as have information about upcoming in-person classes!
Fall 2026 classes will most likely include Fermentation Basics and Sourdough Basics.
