Cajun Cook
One of our users, Ellen Cook of the Cajun Cook has an event coming up on Tuesday, May 13, 2014. Here is her tease about it:
“Let us make WisCajun’s out of you!! We are all set for Metcalfe’s Tuesday Night Run! The Cajun Cook Jambalaya Starter Kits will be on sale at both Madison Hilldale and Madison West stores, but we will be feeding shoppers at the Madison West location (not Hilldale, as I previously posted). If you can’t make it, look for the kits next time you shop!!”

FEED Bazaar
Come out this Saturday, April 5, 2014, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. to the first ever FEED Bazaar/Open-House. It will be a great opportunity to get a look at the Kitchens and to meet some of the current and future users of the facility. There will be samples to try and products to buy, so bring your appetite and your pocket book and find out more about local food business and the people behind it.
Informational Session
We are working on our website and will soon have a calendar of events list on the front page so you have a better idea of what is coming up at FEED Kitchens and what our users are up to, but in the meantime, keep checking here for updates.
Our next User Informational Session is going to be held on Tuesday, March 25 from 6:00 to 7:30 at the Kitchens. Please e-mail Karen Bassler to reserve a spot.
If you can’t make the March date, we will have two sessions in April, on Saturday, April 26 and Tuesday, April 29. You can also schedule a walk-through with Adam at the Kitchens. It won’t be quite as detailed as the informational sessions, but you will still get the pertinent information and a quick tour of the facility.
Open House
On Sunday, February 23, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., we will have an Open House at the FEED Kitchens for anyone who would like to come out to see the building and get a brief tour and explanation of what we do and who we are.
If you have ever wondered about the newest building on the Northside, considered renting space, or just want to say hello, stop by. If you can’t make it on Sunday, you can always give us a call and we can set-up a walk-through for you as well.
