PROGRAMS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS
Click on the links below to sit in on our recipe classes, or settle back and watch 100+ episodes of “What the Heck Is This?” Amanda Collins teaches three canning tutorials: (1) Canning Whole Tomatoes, (2) Canning Tomato Sauce, and (3) Making Strawberry Balsamic Jam. The talented Jennifer Lipper teaches us how to make an all-butter pie crust and how to pickle literally ANYTHING!
Kaylin Greene, our in-house mixologist, shows us how to make amazing cocktails from the fruit and herbs we get in our weekly shares. Her Strawberries and Mint Cocktail is as scrumptious as it looks, and her Red Currant Syrup Cocktail will make you wish we got currants in every share.
Sarah Hoffman, of Phoenix Bakehouse, teaches us how to make the Sourdough Bread that made her famous. Kara Vona, of Kara Vona Naturals, takes us on a tour de force on making fruit vinegars.
Scroll through the first row of our photo gallery to watch as we plant mums and daisies along with the children from the Arrow Recreational Center on 35th Street.
In the second row, Amanda Collins demonstrates good canning techniques: Always use a brand-new lid when you’re canning. Lids today are manufactured with less of the red sealing material on the inside, and they might not form a tight seal if you reuse them. Be safe and use a brand-new lid every time!
We hosted a pumpkin-decorating workshop for our members’ children and the children in the pre-school and after-school programs at Arrow. More than a hundred kids attended! Just look at the pride on their faces as they show off their pumpkins!
Our educational events go hand-in-hand with our commitment to offering Equity Shares and attempting to fulfill our Mission, which is to help our community eat healthy by enjoying sustainably grown fresh fruit and vegetables from local farms. (See our Mission Statement).
