Time: 4:00pm-5:30pm

Description

Join our seasonal-based cooking class centered around our Harvest of the Month!  This series will focus on in-season produce, picked straight from our organic farm.  Participants will be guided by a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and certified plant-based chef on how to prepare one vegetable in a variety of interesting & delicious ways, demonstrating how veggies can taste just as good as they are for you.  Attendees will have a better understanding of organic farming, farm to table cooking and the importance of eating seasonally for optimal health and wellbeing. The class will taste their creations along the way, and will be able to take the remainders home.
