Once again people coming to the GGM Open Air market will enjoy food preparation demonstrations by local Fox Valley Chefs and the family focused/early childhood education program “Kid’s Corner”. Leading off the Chef Demos on opening day will be local favorite Matt Lennert of Geneva based The Moveable Feast. Most vendors from season three will be returning and some new vendors will round out the mix of locally created, grown, and produced foods.
Matt Lennert from Moveable Feast in Geneva, IL demonstrates how to make ‘Green Potato Salad’ at Thursday’s “Geneva Green Market.” Swiss Chard and Provence Kale fuse together in fresh pesto & chopped whole greens make this refreshing, scrumptious Summer potato salad. Click here!
For those who want to eat out and still eat locally grown foods and for those who just love great food, Geneva offers a few options. Moveable Feast is having block party dinners throughout the summer, and Heritage Prairie Farm has monthly farm dinners.
