We’re back at it with our friends at the Nashville Farmers Market for one of the most beloved seasonal celebrations: the Turnip Green Festival! On Saturday, November 1st, 2025, from 10am - 2pm, Nossi Culinary students and chefs will be showcasing fresh, creative recipes that highlight the best of fall produce.
If you joined us at the Fall Ball, Y’all Festival earlier this season, you’ll remember the crowd-pleasing demos and tastings that had everyone talking. This festival promises the same energy, with a new lineup of dishes you’ll want to recreate at home.
Our chefs, alongside a team of culinary student volunteers, will be hosting live cooking demonstrations at 11am and 1pm. These recipes are designed to be approachable, flavorful, and easy to make at home!
