Join us Friday August 7 for The Tomato Festival AND our “First Friday Cooking Day” with Chef Jen. She’ll be focusing on tomatoes and probably other delicious foods from our vendors.  Thanks to a grant from the Twin County Community Foundation, we’ll be combining our June, July and August Cooking Days with Healthy Kids Bucks and educational information from our partners at WIC.  The first 50 kids to visit the WIC tent will receive $10 of Healthy Kids Bucks to spend ONLY on fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and plants and seeds that produce food. Cooking demonstrations generally run from 9:30 to noon.  Free samples and recipes will be available.  Donations are always appreciated to help with funding  our cooking program. The Market is open from 9am to 1pm as usual.

Since Jen is Cooking this year, we’ll drop the salsa contest but we’ll still have the tomato tasting.  It’s a great way to try ALL the great varieties of tomatoes at the Market and discover your favorite.
