"I am hoping to attend! I have a rooster in my freezer that I harvested in September. Should I bring it (defrosted) or use the skills to be taught on it at home?"

Old Hen Processing Workshop at Krys Cail's Country Woodlot and Kitchen
November 6, 2010 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm
We are going to show our methods for making old laying hens into useful products, such as soup stock, chicken soup, and chicken nuggets. This is a "from start" demonstration, using the hatchet-in-the-woodlot kill method. Please, no children or dogs attending. We will process a small number (about 4) of hens under home-kitchen conditions. There will be some hands-on opportunities; please wear suitable clothing and plan to work in a sanitary fashion (some chlorine bleach will be used on work…See More

Samuel Bosco replied to Samuel Bosco's discussion Dilly Beans bubbling and leaking in the group Canning
"I do have Wild Fermentation and I'll be sure to check out the resource list. Thanks for your help, its sad to see all of those wonderful Stick and Stone beans going to the compost instead of me and my family's bellies.
Thanks again
Sam"
Katie Quinn-Jacobs replied to Samuel Bosco's discussion Dilly Beans bubbling and leaking in the group Canning
"I see what you're saying Sam, but it seems (though I could be wrong about the fermentation) that you've used a technique that is neither sufficient for canning or fermentation. When you ferment foods you typically don't cook them,…"
Samuel Bosco replied to Samuel Bosco's discussion Dilly Beans bubbling and leaking in the group Canning
"OK I get that and I'm not into dying or being ridiculously sick, but why does this work for kimchi and not necessarily beans?
Also on a side note, about your tomatoes... I'm about to can about 2 gallons of tomato sauce. Your comment about…"
Katie Quinn-Jacobs replied to Samuel Bosco's discussion Dilly Beans bubbling and leaking in the group Canning
"Sam, I know it's hard to look at all the effort you've put into the beans and consider having to scrap them. We've all been there and feel your pain. I once had to toss a batch of tomatoes because I realized I had forgotten to add the…"

We have some large scale market items at the actual farm which is in Moravia - where we also grow grains and soybeans. The farm is certified organic, I do the Farmer's Pledge on my Ithaca grown items. John (Lanzoni) would love to move most of his farming to supporting the production of alcohol, lol! In that vein, we are looking at barley, wheat (for the distilleries), and hops. Thanks for your info, I'll forward that to John.

Also, as we are just starting to explore this grain, we'd be interested in any suggestions you have regarding preferred varieties, etc. It seems that options are somewhat limited based on our initial searches for seed. Thanks! Roxy
