Public Market Nutrition Education Center

Demonstration/Education Kitchen Advances the Market's Nutrition Mission 

Inside the indoor "B" Shed at the Market, this facility 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: 

Market Flavors Ep. 1: Pan-Seared Lamb Chops & Weeknight Ratatouille with Guest Chefs Shaun Nelms and Charlie Colbert
