A key part of the mission of the St. Helena Farmers' Market is to empower our community with knowledge to buy, cook and eat good food. During our monthly Lecture Series, passionate teachers share their stories, skills and knowledge. Market shoppers will learn from Farmers, Winemakers, Ranchers, Skilled Gardeners, Beekeepers, Crafters and Chefs.
If you are interested in doing a lecture in 2026 please contact Wendy Strachan, Board President at wendystrachan@sthelenafarmersmkt.org
