Just when you thought our pickle celebrating was over, join us for a Four Sisters Farmers Market demo on refrigerator pickles with chef Vanessa Casillas of Dream of Wild Health.
Did you know pickles are a superfood? A great way to keep ingredients good for longer and tasty too, Vanessa and Nutrition Program Coordinator Marissa Johnson will give you all the details and benefits on how to enjoy this tasty treat in moderation. This food demo will be held at the market October 3rd at noon. Limited seating available with elders prioritized. Samples will be available to try. We hope to see you there!
