Kids Cook at the Market

Kids Cook at the Market celebrates 18 seasons! This year Kids Cook returns to King Farmers Market with six classes and debuts eight classes at Lents International Farmers Market.

Enroll your junior chefs ­— ages 7 to 12 — in Kids Cook classes on Sundays this summer, where they’ll cultivate culinary skills and experience a cornucopia of farm-fresh foods!

Kids Cook kids will experience the seasonality of food, meet local farmers, and prepare ingredients they purchased fresh at the market. They’ll share a meal and take home the recipe to try again with family and friends.

Build your junior chef’s skills and confidence with the following classes this season:

  • Quick Strawberry Jam on Pancakes
  • Smiley Face Veggie Omelettes
  • Vegetable Fritters
  • Hand Pressed Tortillas = Veggie Tacos!
  • Summer Salad
  • Fruit and Tomato Salsas
  • Caterpillar Kabobs (at Lents International Only)
  • Gazpacho (at Lents International Only)

Register today for Kids Cook at King
or Kids Cook at Lents!

Helping Our Vendors Grow

We work hard to help our vendors be successful. In addition to providing a weekly gathering space for local food producers, we create opportunities for vendors to learn best-practices and find prosperity.

We recently held a workshop for vendors about marketing, extending growing seasons, and value-added production. Here’s what one vendor said after the training,

“Thank you PFM! The extra work you do to bring growers together outside of market is foundational for a good market community and a strong food system. The workshop was well attended and the presenters were appropriate and experienced. Please do this again and more!”

Thank you to all of our vendors who were able to make it. We are so honored to contribute to your success.

Are you interested in being a PFM vendor? Apply for next season on our website here.

Welcome, Amica!

This year, Amica Insurance joined PFM as our premier sponsor. We couldn’t be happier.  You can visit them monthly at the PSU Market.  This spring stop by their booth to say “hello,” get your own free stainless steel reusable straw, and enter their giveaway to win $50 in market tokens. Follow us on social media to find out the dates that Amica will be at market. Keep your eyes peeled for more fun promotions later in the year!

Follow us on social media for all the latest news, updates, vendor spotlights, and more!
