At harvest time, awash in abundance, we are faced with many choices. choices about what to keep and what to give away, about what to eat quickly, and what to store, and the best way to make use of all that we have. In this session, we can literally and metaphorically assess our harvest and decide what we offer in feast, what we pickle, what we ferment, what we sweeten into jam, what we pause in the freezer, what we salt, and what we dry to reconstitute later. In this conversational online gathering, we will swap stories about when and how we’ve made choices about what to salvage, valorize, or toss, and exchange some techniques for literal and metaphorical preserving and upcycling.
