Hi. My partner and I live in downtown Sebastopol and are growing a large garden. We'd like to contact others to can share our harvesting experience, adn perhap group our processing of things like milling/extracting.

Have a fruit press? Know where we can extract oil from our olives? Know how to make a ton of apples into mild/ hard cider? Know how to make fruit butter, or use a solar oven to preserve fruits/vegetables?

Now's the time to put our heads together, before we're bured in an avalanche of everything we've planted. Pleae call/write.

Hi
I have started a community garden in SR. We'd be interested in sharing information.
I know of the Olive press in Glen Ellen
www.theolivepress.com/ (https://www.theolivepress.com/)
for pressing oil, but it is also a good link site for information. Also we' ll be learning how to preserve fruit in August. Feel free to contact

Greetings,
One of the best books I have found on putting up food is "Putting Food By" and HPBooks has a good one "How to Dry Food". Both are in the library and I got my copies at Copperfields used in Sebastopol. Also check out the UC Extension service online for publications. I took classes in the 70's, back east, through a Seventh Day Adventist church. They ran a store that catered to vegitarians and it was the only place I could find many ingredents I needed (J.H. Kellogg, as in cornflakes, was an Adventist). Try some of the cooking schools, ask at the farmers markets or maybe the local food banks about starting some workshops. I'll do some further research and share it here. Good luck,
Glen
