As part of its featured exhibit, “Good for You: Healthy Fun on the Run,” Creative Discovery Museum will host its first Farmers Market from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
In addition to the wide variety of produce for sale, there will be food demonstrations, planting activities and food artisans to introduce children and adults to the ease of making healthy food choices.
Produce will be provided and sold by several local farms. Educators will demonstrate how to incorporate fresh and healthy foods into daily cooking. Two mobile kitchen units will let guests see how some of the produce purchased at the market can be prepared at home.
Professionals from TasteBuds Local Food Guide will share their expertise of local farms and locally grown produce resources. Hamilton County Step ONE will share information about making healthy food choices at home, school and in restaurants.
Kids will get to participate in a seed planting activity sponsored by GreenLife Grocery that includes a take-home product, and food artisans will inform guests about establishments that use local produce and employ sustainable practices.
“The CDM Farmers Market provides a wonderful opportunity for the whole family to experience the art and science involved in the process of taking food from seed to table,” said Dr. Jayne Griffin, director of education.
The museum, 321 Chesnut St., will be open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. Admission is $10.95 for ages 2 and up.
