Join us at the new Pearl District Culinary Farmers Market for Chef in the Market featuring OFMA Executive Director Hazel Valdez!

Hazel will lead a cooking demonstration featuring a fresh summer salad made with ingredients from the market. She’ll also share why farmers markets play an important role in Oregon’s food system and local food economies.

Hazel’s culinary background inspired this year’s Farmers Market Week campaign, Culinary Connections. Throughout the campaign, OFMA highlighted chefs and restaurants that bring Oregon-grown food from the market to the menu.

Come visit the market, watch Hazel cook, and say hello!
