September thoughts on Harvest

It’s been a while since I posted. Lots happening here in Columbus. 4 Seasons City Farm is deep in the midst of planning the Fall Harvest Festival. Sept 26 at Mound and Carpenter (the Olde Town East part of Columbus), Then a few days later will be a canning workshop on tues the 29th at Central Community House at Main and Champion. Limited group for hands on learning with Susan Shockey from Cooperative Extension. If interested call Karen to sign up for this or other TBA workshops. MORPC is being asked to find funding for more experts such as Susan to teach both water bath and pressure canning techniques. Did you know that you can even can a turkey this way? Imagine if people in the inner city could buy two at 79 cents a pound and have meat all winter. Even if the electric were to go out. It would still be good. Sure wish people were more prepared for disasters. So much food was lost last year during the big storm as well as those on the gulf from the hurricanes. Crews could plan ahead to have 2 ton trucks and generators to save so much during those extreme times. I expect more to happen. Get prepared. Know your neighbors. Work together. Well got to go. Coffee house is closing. More soon. Kareng
