Come explore local food with us in two sessions. We'll start with a slide presentation with discussion and a short activity, then we dive in with a demonstration cooking project. This course will explore connecting with where your food comes from, building positive relationships with food, and using local, seasonal, budget-friendly produce. We’ll share what farm to school is and what is happening in our region. Our style of education will utilize similar techniques we use with students: fun, interactive learning with opportunities for discussion, exploring new things and asking questions. This will be an opportunity to learn about growing, buying, cooking and enjoying food for yourself as well as ideas for engaging the young people in your life to share the joy of connecting with food.
NOTE: The second session on Jan. 12 will be a demonstration cooking class held at the Ashland Food Co-op, located at 237 N. First St., from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Efforts will be made to address individual food allergies and sensitivities; ingredients will be listed in a pre-course email to registered students. Signed liability waiver required to participate.
