Weavers Way Homesteading Workshop: Turning Summer Vegetables into Winter Staples

Thursday, June 8, 2017 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm

Join local canning expert Anna Herman for this hands-on workshop as she guides you through various ways to preserve the bounty of summer veggies taking over your garden and the farmer's market tables. You'll talk about various canning options and techniques, and also a little bit about freezing.
 
 
Anna Herman is the coordinator of the Penn State Extension Master Gardener program, overseeing volunteer opportunities for over 120 gardeners in projects around the city. She is also the volunteer coordinator of the Morris Arboretum Community Garden, and is a writier for a variety of food businesses, schools, and publications, including Martha Stewart Living and Food & Wine Magazine. Anna has an extensive urban farm at her own Mt. Airy home, where she keeps chickens, ducks, and bees, fruit trees and tons of veggies. We are thrilled to have her as a member of our Coop community, and to be able to learn from her! For more about Anna, here is a great article about her urban farm in the Chestnut Hill Local.
