On June 17th, we'll be hosting a Tomato Canning Workshop with Austin's own Kate Payne, author of The Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking and The Hip Girl's Guide to the Kitchen. Learn how to prepare tomatoes for canning (either whole, diced, or in preparation for sauces) and see the process for putting them up using a waterbath canner pot. Workshop attendees will go home with a methodology and recipe packet for tomato canning at home. Pair this new knowledge with a few pounds of 'maters, and you'll have fresh-tasting tomatoes all year long.
For those of you who really want to experience all-things tomato, we will be hosting our Tomato U-Pick earlier that morning, so you can actually harvest the tomatoes you will then learn how to preserve. If your tomatoes didn't take this year, or you're looking for a bit more volume, you don't want to miss this opportunity to pluck your own tomatoes straight from our bountiful crop. This is a true farm-to-cupboard experience!
