LOCATION: D-Square MPR & Outside Area Buy fresh - directly from local farmers and enjoy for dinner tonight! 2014 is the UN International Year of Family Farming and to celebrate this one of our main themes for WEP this year is Food & Farming. The WEP Committee is pleased to welcome a Farmers Market to KAUST. The Market will be a celebratory special event for everyone who is a part of WEP to attend and experience produce from local farmers in Saudi Arabia, including certified Organic Farms. This is an opportunity for the KAUST community to purchase healthy fresh food directly from farmers. We would like the community to have the opportunity to sample as many different foods as possible, ranging from herbs and spices to fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds and even fresh fish, quail, dates and local honey to name a few. There is also a lot of satisfaction to be gained from talking to the people who grow the food you eat and finding out about their practices and giving your feedback. The Farmers Market will include a Chef Cooking Demo by Chef Moncef from Al Marsa Restaurant with food tasting. THIS EVENT IS BROUGHT TO YOU IN COLLABORATION WITH FACILITIES & COMMUNITY DEPARTMENT.
