About the Event
We are delighted to harvest amaranth together just before bringing in the new year on Rosh Hashana!
Amaranth is a diverse genus, with varieties grown for grain, leaves, and ornamental flowers. It was first cultivated by Maya, Inca, and Aztec ancestors, and today is grown by dozens of cultures on all six farmable continents.
Join us at our seed saving garden. We'll learn about the story of our amaranth, cut down seed heads, and then separate and winnow the seeds. Feel free to come at any point between 4 and 5pm. Below is a schedule for your reference.
Schedule:
4-6pm: Harvest, and learn the story of the amaranth
6-7pm: Dinner provided by Yesod Farm+Kitchen
