Solstice to Solstice - Session 1: Summer Pickles

Stoked to have kicked off our first Solstice to Solstice (S.O.S.) session with such a great group this past weekend (July 30th, 2022) up @rocksteadyfarm where the science and stories of pickling in Black and Brown diasporas was front and center as we jarred up a ton of goodies that will hopefully make future cooler seasons a little brighter for folks!

Everything covered in the workshop and more is available in the latest Deep Routes mini booklet “Pickling 101” a 20+ page mini digital booklet that covers a bit of the BIPOC history and processes of pickling, features 4 plant profiles + more. Linked in our bio or visit www.shopdeeproutes.org

Jams are happening at next month’s session and there’s still time to register at the link in our bio! And all patreon supporters will have early access to the Jams booklet prior to that session.
