Interested in growing your own food and not sure where to start? This program will share some tips on growing and using beans and garlic.
Join Emily Makrez for this class all about her obsession with beans – how beautiful they are are (she has grown over 60 kinds), how to grow them, why they are good for us and the soil, and ways to use them.
This class will also teach another favorite to grow: garlic. Learn how to plant, harvest, cure and store them, some useful preserving tips…even how to perennialize them!
Emily is the owner of F-Word Farm: a place for farming, foraging and fermenting. Her interest in food took her to Seattle to pursue a Master's degree in nutrition at Bastyr University, but a love of New England brought her back home to start her own farm and delve deeply into the world of fermentation (lacto, koji, vinegar, & alcoholic) and foraging. She focuses on using every last bit of what nature provides and making it taste delicious.
