NORWAY — The Old Squire’s Farm Market is offering free presentations and music on Saturdays. The presentations are free and open to the general public, and will cover a wide range of agricultural topics. Starting times vary but most presentations begin at 11:30 a.m.
Music by John Sayles kicked off the Saturday events on Jan. 17.
Late winter is a good time to educate about agricultural practices and methods, as well as to encourage more families to plant home gardens. Presentations for January begin with Albert Judd on “preparing eggplant and tomato frittata” on Jan. 24 at 12:30 p.m. The Jan. 31 presentation will be with Bethany and Stella Shaw; they will give a felting class that starts at 11:30 a.m. This is an excellent learning experience for adults and children.
Leading off the February topics is organic certified farmer Peter Coleman on “raising spinach in winter” on Feb. 7 at 11:30 a.m. Suzanne Dunham will cover the topic of “healing naturally with herbs, spices and foods” at 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 14.
On Feb. 21, Heidi Durgin will discuss “running a sustainable dairy” and will provide samples of new cheese products the Durgins have been perfecting this winter. The last Saturday event in February will host farmers with information on Community Supported Agriculture shares from their farms.
In late February, information will be provided about March presentations.
