Kitchen Garden Spring Workshops

ELDERBERRY POND KITCHEN GARDEN WORKSHOPS

(Three Seasons of Sustainably Growing and Preparing Fresh Local Produce)

Beginning this spring, and continuing into November, Elderberry Pond will again host our Kitchen Garden Workshop Series. This program is part of a New York State Agriculture and Markets Program to promote local, sustainable agriculture. The format for each workshop will be somewhat different, but most will include the following:

Sunday afternoon introductory slide presentations on organic/sustainable production techniques for the featured crops followed by garden tours and for some sessions kitchen demonstrations on preparation of the crops in season. Printed material on variety selection and growing techniques, and suggested readings from our lending library.

Restaurant menu selections for two to three weeks following the workshop will feature innovative uses of the featured crops.

A small registration fee ($10) for the regular Sunday sessions will cover handout materials. It has been our experience that the Sunday sessions fill up quickly, so we recommend that those interested sign up early.
