When you prepare real foods without cooking you preserve the maximum nutrition in these foods. You don't have to eat 100% raw or even be a vegetarian to get started. In this class we will cover nutritional information about raw foods, demonstrate how to make non-dairy milk, try a creamy vegetable soup, learn how to turn dark leafy greens into tender greens without cooking, create a raw chocolate mousse without butter, cream & eggs, and more! 
10:00am - 1:00pm

 

Farm fresh eggs from your own back yard?

YES!

 

Please join us for a workshop on best practices for Basic Backyard Chicken Care in Chicago.

 

Raising chickens as pets and for eggs is LEGAL in Chicago - and part of our growing local food and urban agriculture scene.


Chicken care experts will share their tips on how to keep both your chickens and your neighbors happy - from basic needs and year-round care to relevant city regulations.

 

You will leave the workshop with the knowledge, recommendations, and resources you need for your own home flock - and you'll make connections with other chicken enthusiasts in Chicago.

 

MEET UP Invitation to Current Chicken Keepers: Bring your photos, coop designs, favorite stories, and maybe even birds for Show and Tell after the workshop. If you'd like to participate, please send us an email ASAP - chicago@learngrowconnect.org.
