Market Days
First SATURDAYS at Hope Farms
On the first Saturday of each month, we invite local makers to join us as well as schedule a series of classes, crafts, and prepared food to extend the fun from 9:00 to 2:00 p.m. You never know what delicious treasure you will discover at Hope Farms First Saturdays, each month showcasing a special theme.
Cooking
We present free Cook the Harvest demonstrations every Saturday, featuring easy-to-prepare, delicious dishes using freshly harvested veggies available at market that day. The veg may be unfamiliar to many, so it’s a great opportunity to try something new. The demo is fun for all ages and we often recruit a sous chef from the spectators for a little more hands-on experience.
On First Saturdays we offer free Chefs in the Field classes featuring celebrity chef teachers to add to the fun.
Yoga
Zeenath Selvakumar, one of our Founding S.P.I.C.E. members conducts a free yoga class each Saturday morning at 9:00. Everyone is welcome to join her. We have a collection of mats, thanks to the Give Back Yoga Foundation, but you are free to bring your own and join in. Our yoga enthusiasts linger to do a little deadheading and garden clean up in the Chefs Kitchen Garden before they depart each week.
