\n

The theme for this series of classes is local\, s easonal eating. The benefits of cooking and eating produce that is grown l ocally and harvested in season will be emphasized. Seasonal produce is mor e readily available and therefore\, more affordable at the grocery store o r farmer&rsquo\;s market. Local produce is harvested closer to ripeness an d travels a shorter distance from the farm to the grocery store therefore\ , retaining more nutrients and reducing impact on the environment. Purchas ing from local growers and producers stimulates and strengthens the local economy. Seasonal produce grown and harvested locally has the best flavor!

\n

Each class will include a 30-minute cooking demonstration plus 15 minutes for Q&\;A and 15 minutes to share information about Let&rsquo\ ;s Grow Akron Community Farm Market\, Summit Lake Neighborhood Farmer's Ma rket\, and local farmer&rsquo\;s market nutrition incentive programs.
