Description
Brassicas are a family of plants with some of the most delicious and nutrient dense vegetables humans enjoy - cabbage, kale, turnip, cauliflower, broccoli, and mustard, to name a few. Diving deeper, we discover a fascinating journey into ancient traditions of human influenced genetic modification of crops. Bred for different attributes and purposes, brassicas have been on humanity's plate for well over ten thousand years.
In this hands-on workshop, we will explore Drumlin Farm's Learning Garden and agricultural fields, do some tasting, and make a couple of snacks while learning more about the connections between humans and nightshades. Walk away with some recipes to make at home.
For a more in-depth exploration, register instead for the Humans & Agriculture Series which includes a free online program plus 3 in-person workshops at Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary.
Humans in Agriculture Series: The development of agriculture influenced the course of human history in profound and often unexpected ways. The foods we eat, and their production, have changed dramatically over the past 15,000 years and influenced both our history and how and what we eat today. Join us for this online and in person exploration of our food history.
