Winnsboro Farmers’ Market · Jack Cross Ag Pavilion in City Park on Wheeler Drive

Saturday, April 6 – November 2, 2013

8 am – Noon

Nancy Falster is well known as a personal chef. Among her many talents (raising miniature cattle, pigs among them) she has mastered artisanal hard cheese as well as soft cheeses from yogurt.

Her dedication to traditional foods has resulted in a dedicated group of people who flock to her classes. Little wonder - you get to eat a fresh, healthy lunch between the morning and afternoon sessions!

Nancy and her husband, Karl, are among a group of "back to basics" family farmers who sell their berries, veggies, meat, eggs and yogurt along with gardeners at the Winnsboro Farmers' Market during April through October.

It's Chef Nancy who helps her students go back to the healthy basics that were common during much of the 1900s, when family farms were far more prevalent than commercial farms. If that idea is appealing to you, or you just like to try new things, sign up for her class as fast as you can so you're sure to have a spot saved!

The cost is $80, which includes the "take home" cheese you'll make, and also lunch.

Sign up for two and get a discount.
Since lunch is included, reservations are a MUST.
