Join us for the first season of the Atlantic Cape Community College Farmers Market! The weekly farmers market will serve to support local growers and businesses by bringing our community together to shop, talk, eat, and cultivate new connections. Live music and children's activities will also be available. The market will host a wide array of local vendors including Air Plant Artistry, Allay Farms, Amber Keep Art, Andy's Countryside Farm, Black Sheep Dog Treats, Busy Bees NJ, Cape Creations, Cape May Soda Company, Faith Flower Farm, J&T Farms, Kona Ice Cape May, Magilla Gorilla Sweet Treats, Mermaid Mutineer, Rea’s Farm, Rosa de Oro Mexican Food Truck, and Studio Four Thirty Six.

These hands-on programs will be presented by Marilou Rochford, MA, CFLE, Rutgers Cooperative Extension Family & Community Health Sciences Educator. The future chefs will learn many new skills plus how to prepare a variety of foods and snacks. These camps were first developed in 2013 to incorporate nutrition education with hands-on food preparation lessons to encourage a lifetime of healthy eating habits. At the end of the program, participants will be able to prepare simple and healthy foods for themselves and their family. In Junior Chefs I students are beginning to develop their skills. They will be taught the basics of food preparation, kitchen safety, the five food groups and cooking techniques to create tasty dishes. Students work in partnerships with other students.
