The Farmers' Market Team attends the 2009 Green
Fair Hosted by John Muir Health
 As part of our partnership with John Muir Health and our commitment to promoting
healthy, local food, CCCFM participated in the hospital's 2009 Green Fair on
April 1 in Walnut Creek. Jessie, Keith, Sophie and Lauren manned a colorful
display table full of fresh market produce, brochures and magazines about our
markets and the East Bay local food scene, including the new pamphlet featuring
10 Reasons to Shop at Your Local Farmers' Market. The hospital employees
loved the fresh, juicy "clementines" they were treated to and walked
out with our handsome black shopping bags that created such a buzz... we
ran out! We hope to see them all again at the markets this summer!
The next John Muir Health Green Fair will be at the Concord campus on April 30.

sponsors cooking class at Mangini Farm Agriculture museum
Chef, Jay Holecek recently sourced freshly
picked vegetables from the Walnut Creek Farmers
market for his
cooking demo he did for students who were visiting the Mangini
Farm Agriculture Museum in Antioch. The UC extension and the museum
have a great program, where kids are able to churn butter, grind
wheat, and learn about healthy food, gardening, composting and
the history of the area.
Chef Jay says "The food demo went well! I made three dishes
and had the students try them all. Plus they got to handle and inspect
the different kinds of cabbage. Some didn't believe they were real,
but I had to assure them it was so real they could eat it! I even
brought some of my sauerkraut for them to try. It was some of my
strongest smelling kraut, and some actually liked it! An interesting
byproduct occurred while teaching the kids, we were actually teaching
the chaperons/parents also. Each student was given a packet that
included recipes and information about the farmers market. Thanks
again CCCFM for making it happen."
