Greenbelt Farmers Market Preview

Greenbelt Farmer's Market is held Sundays, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the parking lot by Roosevelt Center, in the area between the New Deal Cafe and the Greenbelt Municipal building.

This Week at the Market:

Local chef Stacy brooks will hold a free cooking demo and discussion at 10:30 a.m. on how to cook seasonal greens, including southern slow-cooking, roasting and sauteing. She'll also talk about eating tender greens raw or slightly cooked.

Stacy's mantra is "Life's too short to eat bad food."

This week's farmers market community group is the Jim Cassels Award Committee, which has awarded funding to organizations that contribute to the community. Drop by their table and find out more.
