Don’t Miss Out! Food Revolution KW Day is Virtual this Year

We really missed hosting our Food Revolution KW event at the Kitchener Market last year.  This year the event is making a switch to virtual format and will include an interactive workshop. The cost for the workshop is $5 and it includes a kit that you can pick up the day before at the Kitchener Market.

Join us and the Kitchener Market online on Saturday, May 29 at 10 a.m. for a Food Revolution celebration! Learn about easy ways you can start to source your own food with a microgreen growing kit and online demonstration from Maison Verte, along with tips for healthy snacking from Chef Nicole. Register here for this kit!

The video can be found on the City of Kitchener's Facebook page. 

Kits are available for pick up on Friday, May 28 from 4-6 p.m. at the curbside pick up location off of Eby St. Just pull up to the sign and a staff will assist you! 

UPDATE: KITS ARE NOW SOLD OUT but you can still join us online

When I wrote about the Thai Cooking Class at Kitchener Market on March 11^th, I had not idea that would be the last time I would see the market in months.  Due to the Covid-19 Coronavirus and the Emergency Shut Down, the Kitchener Market was closed.  Now that three months have passed and things are beginning to open, it was announced earlier this week that the Kitchener Market plans to open the Farmers’ Market on June 13^th.

What You Need to Know about the Kitchener Market Re-Opening

According to the City of Kitchener Media Release the Kitchener Market will open at 7am on June 13, 2020 with new safety precautions in places.

Here is what you need to know:

• Only the Farmers’ Market portion of the Kitchener Market will be open
• There will be limited vendors on the first day
• The number of people allowed in the building at a time will be monitored
• Many vendors will have items pre-bagged
• Contactless payment is preferred, for those still wanting to pay cash you will be expected to have the exact amount per purchase
• The Food Hall, Upper Market Vendors, Kids Events and Cooking Classes will not be opening/happening at this time

While I know many of you are missing the events that take place at the Kitchener Market, they have taken them online.  We really missed hosting our Food Revolution KW Day, but we are glad that Chef Nicole and Chef Rob are still here to help us virtually!
