We are looking for volunteers to assist with the first ever Urban Homesteading Conference in the KITCHEN @ The Boston Public Market. Volunteers will asskst in all aspects of event production: set up, interacting with guests, providing support to presenters, clean up, and anything else that happens to come up that day!
The homesteading movement is all about self-sufficiency, characterized by growing and preserving food, and conjuring up images of greenhouses and gardens and cellars filled with dusty jars. But what about us city-dwellers? How can we move towards self-sufficiency and embrace this movement without packing up and moving to rural America?
The KITCHEN at The Boston Public Market and Slow Food are jointly hosting The Urban Homesteading Conference on Saturday, February 18th to train Bostonians on how to modify traditional homesteading techniques to work in an urban setting. The Conference will showcase six different topics including:
- Stocks and bone broth
- Food preservation techniques: pickling and canning
- Home brewing: beer and fermented beverages
- Urban gardening: mushrooms and other edible garden tips
- Home made cheese: mozzarella and ricotta
- Bread making: using a sourdough starter
- Working with herbs: tinctures and infusions
More opportunities with The Trustees of Reservations -- Boston Region
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
