Farmer’s Market Tour + Hands On + Tasting

Location: Kitchen Collage, 430 E. Locust Street | Des Moines, IA 50309

Join Chef Nela and Teresa for a deliciously immersive experience that starts at the heart of the Downtown Farmers Market. You'll meet at 8:00 AM (location will be provided after signing up) where Teresa will guide you through the bustling market. We will select the freshest seasonal produce, discover hidden gems from the locals, and gain insight on what to look for.

After gathering your market finds, we will return to Kitchen Collage with our purchases to cook up a meal you’ll want to share with friends and family. Be inspired by Chef Nela's guidance, you'll prep, cook, and enjoy a menu that celebrates the best of what Iowa’s farmers have to offer—all in a relaxed, hands-on cooking class.

Come hungry and curious—this is farm-to-table at its most interactive!
