MAIN INITIATIVE
Improving the health and wellbeing of communities
The Works, Inc. Food Programs provide evidence-based nutrition education through healthy cooking classes and connect you to fresh local produce at the seasonal South Memphis Farmers Market.
Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of communities by advancing food security and nutrition, promoting sustainable practices, and working together to create a healthier future for all.
About Food Programs
Established in 2010, the South Memphis Farmers Market (SMFM) is a cornerstone of the South Memphis Revitalization Action Plan (SoMeRAP), situated at the vibrant intersection of Mississippi Blvd and South Parkway. Beyond its seasonal outdoor farmers market and year-round grocery store, SMFM is dedicated to community wellness by providing free cooking
classes in its fully equipped kitchen. These engaging classes are offered throughout the year at various times, making it easy for community members to learn how to prepare healthy meals and make the most of the fresh, local produce available.
Our Vision
Our programs aim to improve food security in South Memphis by increasing access to fresh,
local produce. We hope to have all spaces available at the South Memphis Farmers Market
filled with local producers. Cooking Works envisions healthy cooking classes throughout the
week regularly including series focused specifically on chronic disease management.
