  • Tuesday, June 28, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm – Introduction to Canning Jam and Sweet Preserves Workshop

    Wright-Locke Farm’s non profit 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!

    Learn the basic science of hot water bath canning and techniques for making delicious homemade jams, jellies, conserves, fruit sauces, whole and half fruits, and more, on Tuesday, June 28, from 6 – 8 in the Saint Eulalia’s Parish kitchen. 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 half pint jars of local strawberry-rhubarb jam to take home and enjoy. Tuition fee: $30 per person (includes jar of jam)

    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. Register and learn more at www.wlfarm.org.
