Feast Makers is a hands-on, multi-day culinary activation where community members come together to prepare and serve a nourishing Harvest Feast at George Floyd Square. Hosted at City Food Studio and led by Healthy Roots Institute, this series invites youth, volunteers, home cooks, and culinary artists to work side-by-side in the kitchen—chopping, simmering, fermenting, storytelling, and building community through food.
Participants will help process fresh produce from CANDO’s Plant-Grow-Share & Frogtown Farm, craft healing dishes inspired by ancestral foodways, and contribute to one of the most meaningful community meals of the year. Whether you're a seasoned cook or just passionate about food and healing, there's a role for you at the table.
