Jam Making Evening

August 18
Our garden is brimming with raspberries and red currants, and we are inviting you to help us eat them! Keep the taste of summer all winter long by attending our jam-making workshop the evening of Wednesday, August 18. You bring a jar, we’ll bring the rest, and make a sweet spread and some fresh bread!
