OUR WORKSHOPS

I regret to say that as of writing we have decided to suspend all
workshops and educational activities for now as we ride out this global pandemic.
We are optimistic that the world will have returned to normal by the Fall
and we can have some terrific workshops at that point.
Please check back with us.
In the meantime scroll down to see what we had on offer last season.

DIY CHICKEN BUTCHERING

Sunday September 8th 9:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.
$25


If you have ever thought about raising your own poultry, this workshop will give you a hands on experience in how to humanely slaughter, butcher and freeze your own chickens.

And even if you never plan to have your own flock, the workshop will give you the opportunity to learn how that chicken breast got to your plate- and isn’t that important for every omnivore to know!


The workshop will be given by Carmen Sherrer who has been raising and slaughtering chickens since she was a girl on her parent’s farm. She approaches the task with a calm respectfulness that comes from experience and a genuine affection for her birds.

Please dress appropriately.

FUN WITH FERMENTATION

Sunday October 6th  1 p.m. - 4 p.m.
$40


You can find fermented food in the diets of every human culture. The process makes foods both more nutritious as well as delicious. And hundreds of medical and scientific studies confirm what folklore has always known - the microscopic organisms that transform the food also extend its usefulness by helping people stay healthy.

During the workshop we will make Sauerkraut with organic root veggies, and Sauer brined mixed vegetable pickles with the freshest vegetables harvested right from our farm. Participants will prepare and take home a 1l jar of their choice of ferment.

Our teacher, Jeremiah Bullied, is a professional chef and food aficionado. He is passionate about using fresh, local products and encouraging everyone to do the same in their kitchens.
