Saturday August 2nd is our next "First Saturday" garden day. We will be multi- tasking more than usual this day. Our plans for the day include the usual garden tasks to be led by Bob, as well as a morning of processing sauerkraut led by Valerie and Matt. The sauerkraut processing will be held at the First Presbyterian Church on the Park in Canton. Folks interested in being involved in the kraut project should go directly to the church no later than 9am. Those folks interested in spending the morning in the garden should be here by 9am. We recommend that folks have only one person per family represented at the kraut workshop. We are also advising that the kraut workshop be a child-free activity. Our permission to use the church is contingent on us being efficient and contained within the kitchen. We have harvested somewhere around 300 lbs of early cabbage and are storing it in Birdsfoot's walk-in cooler. Folks attending the kraut workshop should be prepared to bring a clean, food grade 5 gallon pail (available at Cindy's Cake Shop in Canton for a dollar) and $3 for use of the kitchen. If you own a mandolin slicer please bring it along as well.
Because we will be splitting the day between two venues, we won't plan on having a lunch together this day.
Harvest and distribution will go on as usual. If you are attending the kraut workshop in town and your pick-up day is Saturday, you will need to make the necessary arrangements to get your basket.
Please let us know if you plan on attending the kraut workshop
or if you have any questions.
