Description

. There is nothing better than the flavor and aroma of herbs harvested fresh from the garden, but unfortunately, fresh herbs don’t last forever. In this class, we’ll explore Fox Haven’s methods of harvesting and drying fresh herbs to preserve their essential oils for the greatest flavor intensity and nourishment. You’ll experience a day in the life of an herb farmer through a tour of the garden, and drying facilities. In class, you’ll receive a compost-making lesson, learn harvesting techniques and practice organoleptic taste tests to see if you dried correctly.
