Cooking Demonstration
#ictfarmandart
Hello local chefs and home cooks
We’re glad you’re here!
“Food is not just fuel. Food is about family, food is about community, food is about identity. And we nourish all those things when we eat well. ”
We invite you to join us and showcase your talent with Market customers on 2nd Saturdays. This is a great opportunity to connect with thousands of people and support Wichita’s local, innovative community hub at Old Town Farm & Art Market.
As a lover of cooking, you understand that it’s not just about food; it’s about family, community, and identity. It’s also about health.
