You’ll already be out in the Berkshires to hear Robert Herman, so stay around on Saturday, January 21 from 1 – 3 to hear the interesting lecture In The Kitchen Garden. We all know that home-grown food tastes the best. Foodie farmers Tim Wilcox and Caroline Pam will discuss how to select the best tasting varieties for your kitchen garden. Do heirloom vegetables taste better than hybrids? What are the best sources for seeds and supplies? And how will I ever narrow down the list of things I want to plant? Learn simple preservation techniques and strategies for eating from the garden all year long.

Tim Wilcox and Caroline Pam run The Kitchen Garden Farm (CSA) in Sunderland, MA. They both have culinary experiences in France and Italy that informs and inspires what they grow. They have both worked at the Union Square Greenmarket in New York City and are foodies, italophiles, and farm geeks.
