"First Saturday" Garden Day June 7


We are planning a few different things for the next "First Saturday" garden day on June 7th.
There will be the usual assortment of garden chores (weeding, potato hilling, planting, tending the livestock, etc..)
We are also planning on doing a pressure cooking demonstration. Pressure cooking is a great way to cut down on energy consumption and makes for a convenient and quick way to cook many things (beans, grains, meat, etc..). You will learn the finer points of using a pressure cooker safely and confidently.
Valerie is planning on demonstrating how to cook an 8 minute chicken in our pressure cooker. The chicken will then be served as part of lunch.
We are requesting that folks bring something simple to add to the lunchtime meal (bread, dessert etc..) We will also provide the greens for lunch.
Our plan is to have everyone start out in the garden and then around 11am have one person (of your choosing) from each family represented in the kitchen for the workshop. This way we won't overcrowd the house and we will continue to make progress in the garden.
You do not need to own a pressure cooker to learn how to use one, but you may be in the market once you see and taste the benefits.
