Mercer County - Hopewell Twp - Canning & Storytelling @ Howell Living History Farm
S aturday, September 14 - Hopewell Township, Mercer County Canning & Storytelling It’s the end of summer and the crops are bountiful. It’s time to “put up” some food. At Howell Living History Farm, you can help. The farm will be the site of a canning and cooking program. Not only can you learn how to can and pickle your garden favorites...but you can sample some of the treats. Throughout the day, farmers will be canning and pickling surplus garden crops like cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes and more. You can sample the results and take home recipes and other secrets that made canning a mainstay of the 1900 farm. While the tomatoes are stewing, be sure to visit the nooks and crannies in the barnyard where members of the New Jersey Storytellers Network are sharing stories about farms and farming, past and present. Be prepared to tell stories of your own during special sessions held in the horse barn and blacksmith's forge! Howell Living Farm represents typical farm life...
