The meals in the community garden are a special opportunity to learn from and connect with each other. We will begin by learning about what’s in season, and will harvest, wash, and prep each ingredient before heading into the kitchen to learn from a local chef how to cook and enjoy the garden’s offerings. We will eat the meal that we prepare together, before helping with clean up!

This class will be all about tomato soup and grilled cheese, especially in light of our recent cold snap in the area. We freeze tomatoes, washed and whole, throughout the summer. We put bags into boxes, load pallets of tomatoes, and take them to cold storage. We froze 3 pallets worth of tomatoes, 2000 pounds per pallet, last year, and for the class we will be using the last bags to make the last pot of tomato soup until September. Josie saved 2 bags of tomatoes to teach this class just for you. Please come hungry!

Las comidas en el jardín comunitario son una oportunidad especial para aprender y conectarse unos con otros. Comenzaremos aprendiendo sobre lo que está en temporada, y cosecharemos, lavaremos y prepararemos cada ingrediente antes de dirigirnos a la cocina para aprender de un chef local cómo cocinar y disfrutar de las ofertas del jardín. ¡Comeremos la comida que preparamos juntos, antes de ayudar con la limpieza!
