Kids in the KITCHEN Challenge at the KITCHEN at the Boston Public Market is a one-of-a-kind, hands-on learning experience for young chefs.

This class is an opportunity to learn a new cooking skill, make connections between local food and farming, and have fun. As a property of the Trustees, Massachusetts’ premier land trust non-profit organization, the KITCHEN is uniquely situated to connect kids to the artisans and farmers at the Boston Public Market and to teach culinary skills to last a lifetime.

The session includes creative, engaging activities, tours of the Market, and a full cooking class all led by our Chef Educator and assistants. Class also includes a snack and lunch (kids eat what they cook for lunch).
