Create Herbal Seasonings with UMaine Extension
Betz Golon, Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village herbalist and University of Maine Cooperative Extension Master Food Preserver, will share her knowledge of herbs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 18 at the UMaine Extension office, 75 Clearwater Drive, Falmouth.
“Herbal Seasonings” is the title of the April workshop, which is part of the yearlong “From Scratch: Your Maine Kitchen” series sponsored by University of Maine Cooperative Extension in Cumberland County. Golon, co-owner of Common Folk Farm in Naples, has been the herbalist for Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village in New Gloucester for more than 20 years. She will “salt” herbs, create herb pastes, dehydrate vegetable and herb blends and make beverages, all with herbs that can be grown in a home garden. The workshop includes hands-on demonstrations. Participants will be given recipes and samples to take home.
Cost is $40; proceeds benefit Extension’s Nutrition Program in Cumberland County. Registration is online. For more details, or to request a disability accommodation, contact 781.6099, 800.287.1471 (in Maine), extension.rlreception@maine.edu.
