UPDATES: Both stores closed May 1st 
Join Co-op staff and deli chef, Monica Peabody, in making pies. You will learn her simple, failproof and delicious crust. You’ll never buy a premade crust again. Let’s fill our crusts with both classic and imaginative pies, sweet and savory. Let’s be creative!
Monica Peabody loves cooking, feeding people and eating delicious, healthy food. She’s offering this class again because it filled up last time and some people weren’t able to make it. A participant at the last class told Monica that she made three pies that next week!
In this time of increasing costs, we have decided to move to a pay what you can model so that no one is left out due to lack of funds. Our class supply costs are also increasing, so we ask you to make a donation according to your ability and help us keep our classes sustainable and vibrant. Suggested donations are from $5-$50.
Our Co-op Community Classes program has a long and exciting history; we've had a plethora of learning partners over the years, the Free School, GRUB, the Fertile Ground, and more. Many of our classes focus on basic kitchen skills, often paired with a solid education in a particular kind of food: hearty greens, fermented foods, international delicacies, pies, etc. We also feature classes on gardening, personal health, sustainable living, and social justice. Classes are geared towards beginners, with no assumption of prior knowledge, often packed with specific projects appealing to those with more experience.
At the heart of all of our programming is the spirit of generosity. Our classes are led by Olympia Food Co-op working members, staff and community members who want to share their excitement and knowledge with you. Consider sharing your expertise with your community through a Co-op Community Class. Our classrooms are a place to experiment, to explore, and to try something new in a supportive environment. They are a great place to network and meet others in your community who share your interests.
