Wright-Locke Farm’s education programs for teens and adults are a great way to learn practical skills related to healthy living, small-scale agriculture, and the wonders of nature. All workshops take place on the Farm or at Saint Eulalia’s Parish (50 Ridge Street in Winchester – right next door) and are open to individuals ages 14+ unless stated otherwise. We hope you can join us for one or more workshops this growing season!

On Wednesday, July 20 from 6 – 8 at Saint Eulalia’s parish, learn the basic science of hot water bath canning and techniques for making delicious homemade pickles, salsas, fruit or vegetable-based sauces, and more. Education Director Rebekah Carter will lead this hands-on workshop that explains the necessary ingredients, equipment, and methods for safely making shelf-stable products at home on a small scale. Participants will help prepare and can pint jars of local bread and butter cucumber pickles to take home and enjoy. Tuition fee: $25 per person (includes jar of pickles). Register at www.wlfarm.org.

PLEASE NOTE: Registration for workshops is required. If you can no longer attend a workshop for which you have registered, the Farm will refund your tuition fee until 10 days prior to a program. No refunds are provided within 10 days of a workshop. Image from www.bunkycooks.com.
