WARREN – Culinary incubator Hope & Main is opening its Schoolyard Market Sunday, featuring food and music.

The market, at 691 Main St. in the former playground behind the Hope & Main building, will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

More than two dozen farmers, fishermen, prepared food vendors and Hope & Main culinary artisans will offer merchandise. There also will be a “composting 101” lesson from Leo Pollock of The Compost Plant, and those who attend will be able to watch doughnuts being made.

“Schoolyard Market will provide a highly interactive experience, connecting eaters with farmers and makers. Food is a relationship that goes so much deeper than reading a label in a supermarket,” Hope & Main Founder Lisa Raiola said in a statement. “We want to share the fascinating story of the origin and production of the food we eat every day.”
Themed workshops also will be offered each week for adults and children on topics such as fermentation, raising backyard chickens, home pickling, bee education and honey making, bread baking, solar and renewable energy demonstrations, composting and more.
“We want to stir up important conversations about food and reconnect with our community, our food, and our planet,” Hope & Main Community Education and Outreach Director Bleu Grijalva said.
Free parking is available across the street at Franklin Street Park and Ride.
