Preserving the Harvest
August 10, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
As the summer begins to wrap up and fall is upon us, the days are still long and warm, and local food is abundant. Now is the perfect time to put some of this bounty away for the winter months. Come and learn from Celeste Longacre’s years of experience!
About the Presenter:
Celeste Longacre is the author of “Celeste’s Garden Delights.” She is also an accomplished gardener who has been growing most of her family’s vegetables for over 40 years. Celeste preserves the garden’s bounty by canning, freezing, drying, and fermenting it as well as storing her produce in a root cellar. She and her husband, Bob, live sustainably in a handmade octagonal home. During the cold winter months, their heat is provided by the firewood that Bob cuts. Much of their electricity is generated with an array of solar panels. For further information, visit her website at celestelongacre.com.
