Pennywise Pantry
Thursday, March 1, 2018 – 6:30pm to 7:30pm
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, to 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 Coordinator, Elena Palermo at epalermo@citymarket.coop or 802-861-9757.

Do you feel inundated by messages of what not to eat? Intuitive eating is a refreshing alternative to the prescriptive, conflicting and harmful dieting culture. Instead of telling you what to eat, it teaches your how to eat. This class will briefly introduce you to the 10 principles of Intuitive eating and teach you how they can help you create a healthy relationship between the body, mind, food, and exercise. There will also be a hands-on food component where you will be able to test your new intuitive eating knowledge and create a personalized, nourishing meal in our very own Community Teaching Kitchen!
