Abundance from early season crops begins by late May. The yields of this time tend to be leaves, herbs, and berries. Join us for this workshop to discuss many of the different ways to preserve the harvest including freezing, drying, fermentation, infusions, and syrups. Preparations will include different types of pesto, various ways to use herbs for the most nourishing teas and concoctions, and sauerkraut & kim-chi. Marisha and Neil bring over a decade of experience to highlight equipment, tips of the trade, and storage. Handouts will be provided for reference as you try this at home.

Handouts will be provided by email before the class begins. Participants will receive a video recording of the class and a pdf of the slides after the class.

Facilitators Marisha Auerbach and Neil Bertrando have spent many years observing and interacting in their gardens and in their greater bioregions. They have been growing most of their own produce year round and preserving harvest abundance for the past decade.
