Sprouting Farms has two more winter cooking classes on Saturday, Jan. 21, and Saturday, Feb 18. Classes will be held at the Graham House starting at 10:30 a.m. The Graham House is located on Rt. 12 in Pence Springs.
The class groups will learn to use winter-variety produce to cook a healthy meal that will then be shared with the group, as participants all sit down to eat. The event will be hands-on and based on teamwork. The Feb. 18 class will be meat-free for the meat-free eaters out there.
Email beth@sproutingfarms.org to register. Registration is required, and spots are limited. The classes are free, but donations are appreciated.
Also, Sprouting Farms’ farm stand in Talcott is open for shopping Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. In addition, their mobile farmers’ market travels to locations in Summers and Monroe counties every Tuesday and Thursday. On Tuesdays from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., they are set up at the Hinton Park across from the Big 4 Drug Store. On Thursdays, they are in Monroe County from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Union Senior Center and at the Greenville Pavilion at the Greenville Senior Manor from 2-4 p.m.
Sprouting Farms accepts cash, check, card, EBT and senior vouchers at both the farm stand and mobile market stops. They also provide SNAP Stretch discounts to EBT shoppers buying fruits and vegetables. This discount can be 50-75% off fruits and veggies.
If you are looking for a place to start a walking group, the farm is open for winter walks in partnership with Active Southern WV. You can walk around the farm on Jan. 13 and Feb. 10 from 1-2 p.m.
