Pelotonia Ride Through Market District on Saturday
Dear North Market Shopper

We are excited to announce the fall schedule for the North Market School of Cooking and Chef Series classes. Classes are held in the Dispatch Kitchen on the second floor of the North Market. Classes are $35 per person unless otherwise noted.


“At a time where prices are high and incomes are low, most of us have become champion comparison shoppers. We navigate not only the streets of the city but the aisles of the grocery store. Unfortunately for many, the first thing to go is high quality produce. Last year I began my adventure into urban gardening. From window containers, a 3 foot plot of land, to kid’s swimming pool: growing your own produce is simple and cheap when you know how to do it. I want to help others save money while not having to sacrifice eating high quality food. Good food shouldn’t just be for those who can afford it.
mozzarella, baby swiss, pepper jack, garlic and herb, tomato basil pinenut and lemon zest. Plus, drinkable yogurt and soft serve ice cream.


At North Market we are known for our conglomeration of outstanding local food vendors, our bustling Saturday Farmers’ Market and now in its third year our Artisan Sundays handcrafted market. At North Market we make it our mission to bring you the best in “local” from fine food to farm fresh produce to the music that entertains you on a weekend visit to the handcrafted marketplace offered on Artisan Sundays. Join us at the North Market for Artisan Sundays on the first and third Sundays of each month from May through October where local artisans and crafters will offer distinctive handmade items for sale.
“Customers, merchants and crafters all love Artisan Sundays,” said Mary Martineau, Director of Marketing at the North Market. “It’s just one more way the North Market is able to support small, local independent businesses by creating an ongoing opportunity for individuals who are exceptional at creating unique handcrafted goods.”
