Eat Local All Year Round!
Join us at the Aitkin Farmers Market for the kick off of a collaborative Food as Medicine seminar series where we link aspects of our physical and mental health to the food we put in our bodies!
This is the fourth out of six monthly seminars that will be engaging, one-hour experiences designed to deepen your connection to foods that nourish your body and amplify your health
Close out our Food as Medicine series with a practical, empowering look at food preservation and how it allows you to stay connected to local, seasonal foods all year long. In this free, one-hour session, we’ll explore the foundations of freezing and canning, and how these simple, time-tested methods help you reduce waste, save money, and extend the life of the harvest well beyond the growing season.
Through a live demonstration, you’ll learn how to properly freeze winter squash purée for easy, nourishing meals, and how to can vibrant red onions to add brightness and depth to dishes year-round. Whether you’re new to preservation or looking to build confidence, you’ll leave with approachable skills and inspiration to stock your kitchen with local food—no matter the season.
