There are so many wonderful things to eat at the market – wonderful tasting and wonderful for you! But, we realize that sometimes it can be a little daunting to see things you’ve never seen before, and to try and figure out how to make something tasty and simple. Our vendors are experts at what they sell – don’t be afraid to ask them for recipes or tips. And, special this week, we’re offering a free Nutritional Walk and Talk introducing you to some of the nutritional powerhouses at the market! The Walk and Talk is open to all market goers, and will be led by volunteer Kelly Kiss, RHN. Please meet at the RCFM info tent at 6PM. The walk and talk is casual and informal so pre-registration is not required.
