Private Events
Cook, Learn, and Enjoy Private
Culinary Adventures
The Co-op’s Outreach team would love to help you create a private culinary experience!
Cook an intimate meal with friends, host a fun and engaging teambuilding experience with coworkers, learn the fundamentals of cooking with your youth group, uncover insider grocery secrets on a store tour, and more.
Private Cooking Classes
Anyone may book a class, provided they meet the minimum requirement of six attendees. Classes are highly personalized — guests choose their class topic from our list of offerings, set their budget, and work through dietary considerations with our staff. The MFC’s Classroom capacity is 16 for cooking classes. Learn more about how to create your private cooking class here.
Youth Classes
We periodically offer youth programming in our public classes or in conjunction with community partners such as the Peter White Public Library. You may also book a youth class anytime through the private cooking class program. We can offer classes during the day or in the evenings, making this a great activity for cub scouts, homeschool groups, and daycares/traditional schools looking for an educational field trip.
Store Tours
Free store tours can be booked for any age and can be paired with a cooking class if desired. Our general tour offers a mix of information about products, sales, the Co-op’s mission and special programming, local food systems, and sustainability. The tours can be customized to emphasize topics of interest to your group. In addition to tours to get to know the Co-op and grocery systems, we can offer store tours to help you find the right products for specialty diets or chronic health conditions.
Presentations & Tabling
We can host presentations or visit your organization, meeting, or event to speak about general healthy eating, eating on a budget, food systems, and more. Our Registered Dietitian can also speak to your group about specific dietary needs, such as foods to alleviate chronic health conditions like diabetes. We also offer tabling with sampling and information at community events.
