Local Harvest and How to Use It

We will meet with a group of local chefs and presenters who will talk about a variety of food types. These will include grains and how to harvest, store and use them, Fresh and aged foods and how to harness the best flavors from them, foods that are alive, such as cheeses or yogurts and foods that are dead, such as canned or frozen goods, and foraging for herbs and seasoning, thinking about what is growing wild and how we can use it.  

During these programs we will sample delicious foods, learn new recipes, and discover wonderful new information about the program topics. Do you remember the old nursery rhyme Pease Porridge Hot? It goes like this…

“Pease porridge hot, Pease porridge cold, Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old; Some like it hot, some like it cold, Some like it in the pot, nine days old”

Did you sing this rhyme to your children or grandchildren? What does it mean? Come to our Lee Backyard Farming Initiative winter programming to find out!
