Fall Harvest:
Quiet Creek's Intensive Sustainability Seminars
October 18, 19, and 20
Weekend begins at 3:00 p.m. Friday and ends at 3:00 p.m. Sunday
Discover
the key concepts of preparing the fall harvest at your farm, classroom,
university, nature center, or home garden. Learn how make sourdough and
sprouted wheat breads, homemade pizza, collect wild and cultivated mushrooms,
make kim chi, sauerkraut, pesto, yogurt/soft cheeses, can your own salsa, prepare herb seasoning/tea blends, and fruit
leather. Throughout the weekend you will
gain sustainable living knowledge, skills, and experience. For seventeen years,
Quiet Creek Herb Farm & School of Country Living has been tending to the
fall harvest and will share all their knowledge.
Claire and Rusty Orner, owners and stewards of Quiet Creek (a non-profit farm), will incorporate Quiet Creek’s model by teaching you the concepts of sustainability related to harvesting food in the fall season. The theory of building a learning community will be applied in hands-on classes which include whole foods cooking, drying, freezing, sprouting, fermentation, and hot water bath canning. In addition to formal classes, the following optional activities are available for those interested: mountain biking (bikes & helmets provided), hiking, yoga, journaling, Sunday worship, and a community music circle (feel free to bring your own instruments!)
Over the course of the weekend, you will enjoy a unique immersion experience as you absorb all the beauty and knowledge that Quiet Creek has to offer. Quiet Creek is an alcohol and smoke free environment with lodging that is rustic and primitive; accommodations on the farm will be based upon registration numbers and may include an earthen floor yurt, a renovated barn, and/or tents. Six delicious, locally and sustainably raised meals will be provided throughout the weekend, and food preferences will be honored. All energy needed for will be produced on site with the solar array and wind turbine, and all waste produced on site will be composted!
Cost: $275 ($20 discount for PASA members) includes three relaxing days, 6 whole foods meals practical experience and knowledge to preserve the season’s harvest at your location, take home goodies, and enjoy two creative nights of lodging. Class limited to 20 participants.
