Public Market Nutrition Education Center

Demonstration/Education Kitchen Advances the Market's Nutrition Mission 

Cooking in the Public Market Nutrition Education Center

Inside the indoor "B" Shed at the Market, the Market Nutrition Education Center is designed to host a wide array of community nutrition and culinary programs, during both 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 Thursdays at 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. between March and December you're likely to find Foodlink's Just Say Yes to Fruits and Vegetables whipping up some healthy goodness in the kitchen; on Saturdays, an array of community culinary enterprises can be found 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:
