Sustainable Food Series

Sundays in January, 2- 3 p.m.


Sunday, January 15: Weir Fishing Rules-Sustaining a Way of Life on the
Water with the Eldredge Family
The Eldredges have been a multi-generational weir fishing family in
Stage Harbor, Chatham for nearly a century. They own Chatham Fisheries,
Inc., one of the last remaining fish weir companies in New England.
Through a mix of historical and scientific findings and personal
anecdotes, owner Ernie Eldredge, his wife Shareen Davis, and daughter
Shannon Eldredge will delve into this ancient tradition, ecologically
sustainable fish practice, and way of life on the water. Their talk will
be illustrated with historic photographs and films.

Sunday, January 22: Solar Ovens-Fun in the Sun with Jaya Karlson
Go beyond choosing sustainable food products and learn how to cook with
a sustainable energy source--the sun. The solar oven is an efficient,
environmentally-friendly, cost-effective, and fun-to-use appliance that
produces great tasting food including cakes, soups, roasted meats and
vegetables, and dehydrated foods. Join Jaya Karlson
for a tutorial and discussion about solar ovens. She'll share her tips
for set up, clean up, and recipe selection. We won't be cooking in this
class, but you'll leave with all of the information you'll need to try
it on your own. It's all up to your imagination and ingenuity!

Sunday, January 29: Companion Gardening-Organic Methods of Sustaining
Your Own Food Source in Small Spaces with Little Effort with Laura
Kelley
Master gardener and organic horticulturist Laura Kelley will share
sustainable methods of farming and explain how to use companion planting
to maintain species. Her illustrated and engaging talk will cover
companion planting, building soil vitality, sustainable living, feeding
pollinators, natural remedies, organic maintenance, and planning for a
healthier future. Learn how to "farm for life" with worms, fish,
chickens, and honeybees, and share in a group discussion.
