Grain can be for beauty, not just nourishment! In Ukrainian creation stories, spider weaved the universe. Traditionally, this geometric ‘spider’ form is woven from straw after the harvest season then hung on the main beam of the house on winter solstice. In this workshop, Anastasia Fyk will teach about the fundamental pavuk form to weave from straw.
Intro to Sourdough: With Karin Kliewer from Swallowtail Farmstead Join us for this informal beginner-level presentation to learn how to start and maintain your sourdough starter, bake simple wholegrain sourdough breads, and creatively use the starter discard. We will demonstrate basic tools for making sourdough, what a bubbly active starter looks like, and do some tasting of sourdough bread and crackers made with the wonderful grains from the Winter Grain Bundles. Recipes, including a few gluten free bread options, will be included.
Winters are long, but we can still grow amazingly nutritious greens year round! Join @little_garden_next_door to learn about indoor hydroponic gardening, from the most productive vertical growing systems for lettuce, herbs, etc, down to the simplest system, sprouting pulses (like the yellow peas and lentils in your grain bundles!) using just a canning jar and water.
If you’re diving into vegetable production, self-sufficiency, and kitchen-guru skills, you’ve probably dabbled in fermentation, or wished you had the courage to give it a try! Join Sage as she talks about her own kitchen experiments, including fermented buckwheat bread, sunflower seed ‘cheese’, and nearly any vegetable, grain, seed or nut she can get her hands on. Learn about some of the health benefits, the simple ingredients and simple processes of lacto-fermentation. Finally, we’ll finish the workshop with slicing and pounding cabbage to create your own jar of sauerkraut. Bring along a sanitized jar, a clean bowl, a wooden spoon, a cutting board and a chopping knife if you can.
