DIY Sauerkraut & Kimchi Workshop

This hands-on food preservation workshop taught by UMaine Extension volunteers and staff will teach you the basic steps for fermenting.

Composting with Worms - AKA Vermicompost!
Join Mark of WormMainea to learn all about how a bin of worms at your home can break down your food scraps into rich, fertile soil!
Mark will be demonstrating his amazing but simple worm compost system, answering all your burning questions, and selling bins you can take home to start on your own vermicomposting journey! Pre-order through his website to pick up that afternoon!
$12 adults, kids free. Please pre-register HERE.
Why vermicompost?
Compost indoors. Indoor composting is the best way to do continue composting over winter in northern climates.
Waste reduction. This is a great reason to use vermicomposting. Your garbage cans and sink disposal are convenient but wasteful ways to dispose of kitchen scraps. Vermicomposting helps you to reduce your contribution to the waste stream.
Produce your own fertilizer and compost tea. Worm compost and worm tea are great soil amendments for seedlings, transplants, houseplants, and gardens. Best of all, these are FREE from your worm bin.

Strawberry Jam Workshop
Strawberries mean it’s summertime in Maine. Learn to prepare and preserve strawberry jam using less sugar with University of Maine Cooperative Extension staff and Master Food Preserver volunteers. We will learn how to safely preserve strawberries using the boiling water bath method. Participants will receive recipes and a jar of jam. Please bring a potholder with you to class.
