Heritage Food Festival Preserving the Future

EntSun News/11075844
Join us this fall for Heritage Food Fest; November 7-9th at Terrapin Hill Farm.

HARRODSBURG, Ky. - EntSun -- You can get there Thursday night or Friday morning and stay until you are feeling connected to the people and the place, Sunday afternoon or even Monday morning. There are day passes too, if you can't make the whole weekend and just want to take a gander, eat some good food & hear some absolutely stellar folks teach on whatever they know better than anyone.  If you can come for three days, treat yourself.

Tickets include camping at Terrapin Hill Farm (https://www.terrapinhillfarm.com/), and most of our teachers will be present and getting settled just as you are. There are a few small cabins (elders and teachers have priority on these) and places to hook up electric for campers. All three festival days, we will serve lunch and dinner, with the food prep team led by Kaleb Wallace, co-founder of the Firefly Gathering (https://www.fireflygathering.org/) in North Carolina and professional festival cook. Meals will use regionally sourced ingredients as much as possible, and will be partially made from food cooked in the hands-on food processing classes. Meals are a chance to gather together in the big pavilion and get to know your table-neighbors and perhaps some folks who you didn't know were your neighbors in everyday life.

Work-trading is a chance to cut vegetables for Kaleb and get a sense of how he pulls off cooking for hundreds of people at a time in places which are not designed for that work (hint, propane). Andrew Bentley (https://www.kentuckyherbalist.com/) will set up the covered wagon herbal first aid station. Bentley hangs a shingle as a professional herbalist in Lexington-- gathering wild plants in his home lands around Bear Track, KY, consulting and also writing widely sought professional opinions including on COVID. He will also teach on Saturday.

Saturday we aim to invite the broadest possible community of interest to attend workshops. Do you want to learn sourdough bread baking from someone who teaches that skill professionally as part of her business, with a dash of Weston A Price (https://www.westonaprice.org/)'s dietary wisdom thrown in? Do you want to learn how to improve your woodlot to make it more productive for food, medicine and habitat from Andrew Ozinskas (https://naturaapothecary.com/), who has been improving the once clearcut woods on his family's land for 20 years and makes a living wild crafting medicinal plants there today? Do you want to make a health-promoting cabbage and Fall herbs ferment with the Embry brothers (https://www.gettingback2nature.farm/) whose knowledge & talk veers through history and the present (the NOW) and includes different ways to heal naturally? Respected permaculture teacher and student of Guatemalan home-scale production Susana Lein (https://salamandersprings.wixsite.com/farm) will be leading a workshop on seed saving and delivering a keynote talk Saturday night. These folks and others (full schedule (https://www.heritagefoodfest.org/post/schedule-...) here) are all looking for ways to cushion the rough transition from the current industrial age to the next one & provide ways that improve life for all the participants in the productive ecosystems of plants and animals which sustain life on Earth.
