Recipes and Rituals for Community Care

Preserve the Flavor with Herbs & Vinegar

Join us for a free hands-on class on keeping the season’s flavors going after harvest. You’ll start outside, picking fresh herbs straight from our beds.

Back in the kitchen, you’ll smell and taste each cutting. Next, mix and match to find a blend you love. Your favorite goes will be used to create an infused vinegar to take home. We’ll share ideas for using it in salad dressings, marinades, and everyday cooking.

This event is part of Recipes & Rituals for Community Care. Explore the role of plants in personal and communal well-being with guest herbalists, healing artists, and wellness practitioners.
