10/12 Special Events: Fiddlin' Quinn and How to Preserve Your Veggies!
Along with all our great vendors, On the Edge Knife Sharpening is back, and we'll have a special guest musician and a great food preservation demo. Come on down!
There will be a special food preservation demo by Jane Hammer, director of Shared Harvest winter CSA, and Music by Fiddlin' Quinn this Saturday, October 12, at the Wakefield Farmers Market.
As long time dedicated local food eater, grower, educator, and advocate in Eastern MA, Jane will share some of her skills and practical tips for eating healthy, local food through the New England winter. (You don't have to resort to the CA produce in the grocery store nor stand in front of the stove for hours canning!)
Jane will also demonstrate one of the easiest and most nutritious methods of preserving vegetables: lacto-fermentation. There will be handouts and displays of much more information about sourcing, storing, and preserving our local farm bounty for the winter months including techniques, recipes, guidelines for storage in existing areas you may have in your home and photos and plan for a simple basement root cellar."
Special Guest Musician!
Quinn Eastburn, age 8, has been knocking audiences' socks off for half his young life with prodigy fiddle chops and driving harmony singing. He has jammed with the cast of Woody Sez in Boston and NYC, performed at the Music at Port Milford festival in Ontario, played on WMBR in Cambridge, been featured 2 years running at the New England Americana Festival, and performed at the 92.9 Earth Fest 2013 on the Boston Esplanade.
This summer he did a joyful busking tour of the U.S. with his Big Folks Band, from Boston to Seattle. This fall Quinn is performing around the Boston area including opening for Pete and Maura Kennedy at Linden Tree in Wakefield, MA on Nov. 2nd. Quinn also plays regularly with the Arl-Lex Five and Dime and can be seen surrounded by delighted audiences performing in Harvard Sq and at the Lexington Farmers Market.
