Westside Farmer's Market

Thursdays - 3-7pm

Visit us at the Westside Farmer's Market - in the parking lot at Zingerman's Roadhouse! With the help of our Community Kitchen Job Training Program graduates, we've been growing beautiful vegetables for sale at the market. This project supports internships for our graduates, and provides hands-on experience in sales and customer service. During July and August, we'll have our prize crop of multi-colored heirloom carrots!
