Nutrition educators from the University of Massachusetts Extension Nutrition Education Program in Fall River offered their third cooking demonstration at the Downtown Farmers' Market on July 28, 2011. This time, the produce came from the Coutinho Farm in Berkley, MA run by Antonio Coutinho. "We decided to take advantage of all of the wonderful zucchini that's available at this time of year to make a wonderful zucchini bread," reported UMass nutrition educator Jessica Wilcox. Visits to farms and the cooking demonstrations are filmed each week and aired on Fall River Government Channel on cable television. Click here for the video of the demonstration by Patrick Mulgrew.
