Thursday, May 26: Food Preservation Part 1: Spring & Summer - Leafys, Herbs, and Berries
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.
Thursday, July 28: Winter Gardening - Season Extension
Grow fresh veggies and produce year round! Learn the science, art, and joy of winter gardening. Join Marisha and Neil in this workshop, where we present a practical approach to winter gardening based on our experience in both a cold, sunny high desert climate and the cool, cloudy Pacific Northwest. You’ll learn how to 1) select appropriate crops and integrate fall planting into your summer garden, 2) plan and locate your winter garden to get the most out of season extension technologies, 3) plant, manage, and harvest from your winter gardens, 4) select and implement a wide range of season extension technologies with various costs and benefits, and 5) build in added resilience against weather extremes.
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.
