Event Description
Spinach and Peas are great to plant early in the Spring because they tolerate frosts and cold weather but how to preserve them so that you can enjoy them at Thanksgiving? Freezing is your best option. Mark Norton will demonstrate how to prepare both of these tasty vegetables and explain options for freezing them.
You are invited to bring a bag lunch to enjoy outside (if the weather is nice).

Peas and spinach were successfully processed today at Katie Q-J's house. Eight pounds of spinach were reduced to eight round masses ready for freezing.
Ten pounds of peas (in their pods) dropped down to about two pounds shelled, blanched, and ready to freeze.
All who attended the event had a wonderful time and took home some of the produce provided by Finger Lakes Organic Growers Coop.

I'm going to have a supply of fresh, organic spinach and peas on hand to that people can try blanching and shocking themselves. If you'd like to take home some of the produce, we ask a $5 donation to cover the produce costs. Please bring muffin or similar to hold spinach.

Sorry I'll miss it. I'm signed up for a permaculture workshop in Montour Falls. I hope it goes well.
