With this interactive and hands-on tour, participants will learn how to shop for affordable, fresh, long-lasting, and nutritious foods at City Market. We will begin by exploring the Produce and Bulk departments, learning a simple method for finding the best value on fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans by paying attention to the price per pound. Then we will enter the Grocery aisles and Perishables coolers and learn to become savvy label readers as we shop for nourishing, long-lasting foods that contain 5 ingredients or fewer. No matter what kind of diet you follow, these pennywise tools will help you stock your kitchen with a variety of healthy, local, and even organic foods and develop a better understanding of Co-op sales.

If the date and time above doesn’t work for your schedule, or if you would feel more comfortable with a one-on-one individualized tour, please contact our Outreach and Education team at learn@citymarket.coop.

Join us for a relaxing acrylic painting lesson! The event is hosted in partnership with Arts So Wonderful and local artist Kadina Malicbegovic of Little Artsy Faces. She’ll introduce participants to her favorite art techniques, then guide them step by step through the process of painting on canvas using acrylic paint. These painting sessions are beginner friendly, but all skill levels are welcome. The goal is to bring the community together, socialize, explore our hidden talents, and most importantly relax and have a good time! Materials will be provided.
