The Spring VegEvent was a great success; well, we all enjoyed it and I think the 100 or so visitors did too.
Plans for the Harvest VegEvent have begun and the concept has crystallised into an Autumn version of the Spring one. The emphasis will be on what to do with the bounty from your gardens and hedgerows, how to store, preserve and enjoy it. We have decided to once again make no charge for entry but to rely on food, limited sales and a raffle/tombola to keep the thing financially sound, all we need to do is ensure that we have enough ££ at the end to do it all over again the following Spring.
The kind of topics covered will be:
An assortment of Brassicas
- Honey and bees
- Preserves and preserving
- Storage of veggies
- Chutneys and Pickles
- Bottling – Kilners jars and that kind of stuff
- Apple press and juice making
- Drying of produce
- Preserving equipment
- Country Market
- Extending the season – late sown veg and the use of protection
If you run a local business that is involved in any of the above please get in touch
