More cooking classes and a call for volunteers

The Appleton Cooks program has a knife skills class coming up next week on Wednesday. Also, they are looking for volunteers Wednesday-Sunday for help building a new Earth Oven for pizza-making at the farm! See below for details on each event:

In the Farm Kitchen: Knife Skills & Techniques
Wednesday, May 15, 6-9PM

Ever wonder if you are using the correct knife or if there is a quicker way to cut all the veggies from your garden or CSA share? If so, join us for this comprehensive introduction to basic skills and essential techniques for the kitchen. You will learn proper knife handling, sharpening, as well as hands-on experience slicing, dicing and chopping to your heart's content!

This program is part of Appleton Cooks! -- the newest (and tastiest!) addition to Appleton Farms. What is Appleton Cooks? It’s a year-round menu of programs designed for people who love food. Whether you’re a beginning cook or a practiced chef, we’re offering classes, workshops, and farm-to-table dinners featuring seasonal food fresh from the farm.

$45 for Trustees of Reservations Members; $55 for Non Members.

Volunteers needed for Earth Oven building!
Join us for a unique opportunity to help build Appleton Farms new Earth Oven. If you have an interest in outdoor cooking, perfecting your pizza making or are curious about Appleton’s new project, then this is for you!  We need 6 volunteer ‘cob mixers’ for Wednesday May 15th, Thursday May 16th and Friday May 17th, from 9am-12pm.  Mixing cob is done with bare feet and promises lots of twisting and shouting! We also need 4 volunteers for both Saturday and Sunday from 9am-12pm (May 17th and 18th). The weekend crew will be helping form the cob into the oven. This is a great opportunity to learn about sustainable and creative cooking practices! No experience necessary.  Please contact Susan Wood at swood@ttor.org or at 978.356.5728 to sign up or with any questions.
