Adult Farming Programs

The Farm Institute in Katama is expanding with adult programming — 11 weeks of workshops for grownups, on Wednesday afternoons (from 1 to 3 p.m.) and Saturdays (from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) this summer.

Upcoming courses include: Building Solar Ovens with Steve Ruzanski Solarazza, Pickling with Sheila BenDavid, an Eat Global, Cook Local ethnic cooking series with Jan Buhrman and Robert Lionette, as well as mushroom cultivation, cob building, fermentation, and canning, jamming and drying!

Adult programming coordinator Kaila Binney is seeking other Island residents with knowledge and skills to share with the community — a bee connoisseur, homemade mozzarella fanatic, wild foodie, herbalist, sourdough baker, or no-till gardener; she says the Farm is open to anything that leads us to a more sustainable lifestyle.
