There are 24 new class es on the calendar at 21 Acres this fall.  Some of these include series such as our very popular Cultivating Cooks 101 & 201 for teens.  Take a look at the website and see the descriptions as there is something for everyone: canning and preserving, healthy food for growing kids, seasonal cooking, composting, vermiculture and getting organized are just some of the topics.

The fees for classes are very low and often members of 21 Acres receive a discount. For example, the Yes, I Can class is only $10 for members: Students will learn how to can and preserve farm fresh produce and be able to take home 2 jars of produce.  Classes are planned by various members of our staff: Kurt Sahl, Principal Education Advisor, has worked with Melissa Sokolowsky and Tyler Morrison from our facilities team to plan the composting classes.  Matt Keen, our new Nutrition and Local Food Education Coordinator, has been working with Asako Sullivan who leads our kitchen staff, to develop the cooking classes.  Deb Sternagel, our wonderfully talented administrator, has planned the organizing classes with instructor, Laura Leist.

Lastly, be sure to check out our Tuesdays at 21 series: Not a class, but a fun learning environment none-the-less.
