What an amazing line up of guest judges! We couldn’t be happier. Do you have August 2 nd on your calendar?! Be sure to tell your friends and neighbors. This is the first time Medical Lake Farmers Market is hosting this event.
We are so excited to introduce you to our judges for Rooted!
Terri Cooper, Mayor of Medical Lake, Kristi Gorenson, host of Washington Grown , Randy Johnson, owner of Johnson Homestead Medical Lake, Kylie Stein, Loan Specialist AgWest Farm Credit , and Danica Wick, owner of The West Plains Stream.
While “Rooted” is from 12pm-3pm, we have a fun day planned and invite you to spend the day with us! Starting at 9am, shop the Medical Lake Farmers Market (open from 9am-3pm) and from 10am-12pm, we have our “Kids Kitchen” hosted by Cela's Creative Learning Academy, where kids will do a blind taste test with produce and learn how to make bruschetta, then from 12pm-3pm, is Rooted.
Four local chefs will bring their inspired submissions using ingredients sourced from the Medical Lake Farmers Market farmers and food producers in sample format for the judges and audience to enjoy, while supplies last. The judges and the people will decide who wins.
At the Medical Lake Farmers Market, we are passionate about connecting our community with the incredible local farmers and food producers we proudly represent.
“Rooted” is all about:
Supporting our local farmers market
Connecting our community with local farmers and food producers
Inspiring you and your kids to make delicious meals with market-fresh ingredients
Strengthening our local food system
Helping you stretch your food dollars
And much more!
