Continuing on our quest to figure out how to eat local year-round, we tackle our second skill; pickling vegetables!

Rick Field of Rick's Picks (check his WEBSITE) will be our next guest teacher for a three-hour combination lecture and hands-on workshop on pickling techniques. We'll be providing all the supplies, including local veggies that we find at the farmers market that weekend. Plan to head home with a few of your own jars of veggies to add to your meals later in the season.

Stay tuned for the remaining two classes; fermenting & dehydrating foods, and tomato sauces are still to come.

Directions:
Haley House is located at 12 Dade Street in Roxbury. The parking lot entrance is off Washington Street, just beyond Melnea Cass Boulevard. Click here for their website.

Meet the enchanting Nubian goats at Valley View Farm and see how delicious fresh and soft-ripened goat cheeses are made.

Elizabeth & Peter Mulholland's family farm overlooks the lovely Ipswich River in Topsfield. We'll learn how the herd is hand-milked and the cheeses hand-crafted, and how a goat/cow cheese was developed using rich Jersey milk from a neighboring herd.

Next, we'll drive 10 minutes for a picnic at the beautiful Green Meadows Farm in Hamilton, MA. Diana Rodgers will introduce us to the farm, which is a certified organic farm growing fruits, vegetables, and heritage breeds.

You may want to bring a cooler for a stop at the farmstand. Sandwiches will be available for purchase for a picnic lunch, approximately $6.00.

Plan to arrive at Valley View Farm at 10:00 AM.

Email PEGGY with questions. She will be contacting all attendees about lunch preferences and possible carpool organization.
