In the summer, many local CSAs and organizations also have various workshops and cooking classes (which I try to post in the events calendar).
One thing I’ve noticed is that classes fill up FAST. So you’ll want to check out their websites and sign up for their email newsletters so you can get the alert as soon as registrations open.
You can also find cooking class listings on the Eat Local, West Michigan! calendar!
