The Art and Science of Kombucha
Wednesday, February 5, 2020 – 5:30pm to 7:00pm
City Market, Downtown Store (map)
Start making kombucha at home! Kombucha is a fermentation of sweetened tea. In this class, we’ll learn how to make it and also discuss why fermented foods are so beneficial. Participants will take home a “scoby” (a starter culture) to get started. Note: this class will only go over the first, or primary, fermentation process. This class will be led by Suzanna Bliss, Licensed Acupuncturist, Nutritionist, Educator, and Director of Bliss Healing Acupuncture in Montpelier.

Valentine’s Spa Yoga with Sangha Studio
Tuesday, February 11, 2020 – 5:30pm to 7:00pm
Community Room, South End Store (map)
Join City Market & Sangha Studio for a slow flow-style yoga class & special treats this Valentine’s Day! Spa Yoga aims to align practitioners with the inner wisdom of deep relaxation by engaging all of the senses. Practitioners can expect flowing, grounded movement to lightly engage and warm up the muscles before transitioning into deeper stretches and longer holds. The physical practice takes time to open the body’s subtle energy and prepares students to experience new depths of awareness in a guided savasana meditation. Class will be followed by tasty treats from City Market! A lovely way to practice with a loved one or treat yourself this Valentine’s Day.
Note: Yoga mats will be provided.

Pennywise Pantry Tour

City Market, South End Store (map)
With this interactive and hands-on tour, participants will learn how to shop for affordable, fresh, long-lasting, and nutritious foods at City Market. We will begin by exploring the Produce and Bulk departments, learning a simple method for finding the best value on fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans by paying attention to the price per pound. Then we will enter the Grocery aisles and Perishables coolers and learn to become savvy label readers as we shop for nourishing, long-lasting foods that contain 5 ingredients or fewer. No matter what kind of diet you follow, these pennywise tools will help you stock your kitchen with a variety of healthy, local, and even organic foods and develop a better understanding of Co-op sales.
If the date and time above doesn’t work for your schedule, or if you would feel more comfortable with a one-on-one individualized tour, please contact our Outreach and Education team at learn@citymarket.coop or 802-861-9757.
