The chef will make five appearances during this year’s farmers market season.
Chef Shemecka McNeil, founder of the nonprofit SLICE 325, will lead five live cooking demonstrations at the Warren County Farmers Market starting Saturday, May 17, 2025, from 8am-12pm. These engaging sessions aim to empower local families with practical skills to prepare nutritious, budget-friendly meals using fresh, seasonal ingredients available at the market.
McNeil, a trained chef, healthcare professional, and farmer, brings over a decade of experience in health and nutrition education. Her work focuses on health equity and sustainable practices, making her a catalyst for change in community wellness.
