This hands-on workshop in our farm setting will introduce the process of cheese making from start to finish (from milking the goats to tasting fresh goat’s cheese). We'll learn how to make ricotta, chevre, mozzarella, feta and more! CLASS FILLED. SEE NEW CLASSES ON NOVEMBER 9 AND 15.

2:00pm - 5:00pm
After introducing the history and science of winemaking, we’ll jump right into making a small batch of wine. Each participant will use wild fruits gathered from the farm to make at least one gallon of wine starter (or “must”) for fermenting at home. The workshop fee includes all of the basic materials to get started (except bottles to house your treasure). Since most commercial wines contain sulfites (and often other chemicals), your wine will be more natural, with a higher percentage of fruit juice.  ONE NEW SPOT, as of 9/12.

Please join us for the yearly fall festival of Biodynamic Preparation making!

 

The oldest Biodynamic farm in the United States welcomes you to participate in the making of the important soil and compost ammendments that have made the Biodynamic method distinct in the organic farming community since the late 1920s. This preparation making festival has been happening for over two decades at the Zinniker Family Farm. Come prepared to work and ask questions. Unlike other CRAFT field days no farm tour will happen, but much informal information and sharing will take place. This event is centered around participation, a potluck and bonfire with music.

 

Please bring a dish to pass for a potluck

 

CRAFT is coordinated by Angelic Organics Learning Center for more information visit: www.learngrowconnect.org or email: craft@learngrowconnect.org
