Public Market Nutrition Education Center
Demonstration/Education Kitchen Advances the Market's Nutrition Mission
Inside the indoor "B" Shed at the Market, the Market Nutrition Education Center hosts community nutrition and culinary demonstrations and workshops. These events happen during regular Market hours, and occasionally off hours. With a variety of schedule, hosts, and programming, the Public Market Nutrition Education Center adds even more community offerings and opportunities at the Market.
On every Market Thursday and the first Saturday of each month between March and December, you'll find Foodlink's Just Say Yes to Fruits and Vegetables whipping up some healthy goodness in the Nutrition Education kitchen! Workshops run at 9 and 10 a.m.
On other Saturdays, you're likely to discover an array of other community culinary enterprises cooking and sampling from the space!
If you're lucky, you may also find a local chef producing a live episode of Market Flavors-- this is a tasty partnership of the City of Rochester's What's Good Rochester initiative and WXXI Public Broadcasting. Check out the Market Flavors productions to date:
