Free Classes and Consultations at Whole Foods on Healthy Eating

The Mt. Washington Whole Foods is introducing a new series of classes and tours dubbed “To Your Health Tuesdays” starting in April. Whole Foods hopes to train its customers on cost-effective healthy eating habits with such topics as “Value Shopping With Health In Mind” and “Exploring Produce: A Tasty Experience”. See below for the complete list of classes being offered in April. All of the classes convene in the Whole Foods Café and occur on Tuesdays from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Kristen Cooke, the Healthy Eating Specialist who will be leading the classes will also be available on Tuesdays and on Fridays for individual consultations by appointment. This seems like a great new service that neighbors could take advantage of — especially with the arrival of Spring and local produce just around the corner.

The classes are free but registration is required and space is limited. To register for a class, please contact Whole Foods Customer Service by calling 410-532-6700 or by emailing Molly Kushner at molly.kushner@wholefoods.com.

To make an appointment for an individual consultation, contact Kristen Cooke directly at kristen.cooke@wholefoods.com.
