Portland Farmers Market

Kids, roll up your sleeves, grab an apron, and have fun learning to cook! Junior chefs ages seven to eleven can cultivate their culinary skills and experience a cornucopia of farm fresh foods by enrolling in Portland Farmers Market’s Kids Cook at the Market program.

All classes are taught by professional chefs, restaurateurs or local cooking pros. Kids learn about the seasonality of foods, meet local farmers, and get hands-on experience preparing ingredients purchased fresh at the market. Classes include a guided market tour, hands-on instruction and recipes to take home so kids can share what they learned with their family.

Advance registration and payment is required. Cost per student is $15 per class.
