This Sunday, July 5th, Cookin' the Market (http://cookinthemarket.org/) will be at the Jack London Square Farmers' Market doing a demonstration on canning and preserving the summer's bounty of fruits and vegetables.
We're seeking an assistant to help with some of the prep and assist our Market Chef with the demonstration. No experience needed, only an interest in learning to can or preserve locally grown foods!

Mission Statement
Our mission is to create long-term change in local food systems, by connecting California communities with healthy food from California farmers and expanding knowledge about food and nutrition.
Description
Our programs empower families to make sustainable lifestyle changes by expanding their nutrition, cooking, and gardening skills, and by boosting their access to local, affordable produce.
Local farms benefit, too, as our programs make it possible for small farms to sell in communities that would otherwise lack access to their products, while helping farmers diversify their sales through guaranteed weekly orders.
This grassroots community empowerment has a ripple effect that supports small family farms, promotes sustainability and responsible stewardship in agriculture, breaks down systemic barriers, and strengthens the local economy - all while growing community interest in healthy eating.
We believe that everyone should have equal access to healthy food, and that the health of our communities and the livelihood of our local farmers should go hand-in-hand.
