The Marketplace's Test Kitchen & Farmer's Market is a community gathering place that is restoring the craft of cooking and clean eating in South Alabama, and beyond through hands-on classes and educational experiences that celebrate the farmers and artisans of our region. Partnered with local farms and chefs, The Test Kitchen & Farmer's Market embraces a whole-food approach to eating and promotes cooking as an essential cornerstone of a sustainable food system. Including a cafe and restaurant, our guests can enjoy the Greater Gulf State Fair from within our Hocklander building, while shopping and relaxing.
