So how do we make sure we get to enjoy more of it all year long? \nWe’ve gathered a wonderful group of experts and friends to show us how. \nMolly Bravo of Wylder Space has spent nearly 20 years as a private chef and caterer here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. She’s passionate about reconnecting people with real food\, local farms\, and the kind of kitchen skills that used to be passed from generation to generation. Molly will show us some of her favorite ways to preserve the bounty and make food preservation feel genuinely doable. \nKen Konviser will dive into the delicious possibilities hiding in our persimmons and garden veggies\, sharing some of his favorite preservation techniques and incredible recipes. \nVictoria Allen is going to introduce us to the magical world of fruit meads and syrups—another wonderfully creative way to capture the flavors of the season. \nAnd because talking about delicious food without eating any would just be cruel… \n😋 WE’RE TASTING\, TOO!\nYou’ll get to sample some of the things we’re talking about and head home with a fresh handful of recipes and ideas to try with your own harvest. \nThen\, when the presentation wraps up… \n🛍️ WE’RE HAVING A LITTLE MAKER’S FAIR!\nFrom 3–5 PM\, we’re spilling out into the parking lot for an informal CRFG Maker’s Fair. \nThe Maker’s Fair is FREE and open to everyone—no ticket needed and no attendance limit. So even if you can’t make the presentation\, come join us afterward! \nGot something you make? Come sell it! \nFresh fruit and veggies? Absolutely.\nDried goodies? Yep.\nBaked treats? Sure.\nCrafts? Bring ’em.\nPlants? Ah heck… plants are always welcome. 🌱 \nIf you’d like to participate\, reply privately to this email and let us know what you’d like to bring. Sellers should plan to bring their own table and a tent if they’d like some shade. \nOne little food-safety note: If you’re selling canned goods\, we ask that they be prepared and processed in a commercial kitchen so we can keep everyone safe. \n🍎 GOT TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING?\nBring your extras! \nWe’d love for everyone to bring any surplus fruits and veggies from their gardens to share with the community. We’ll set up a spot where you can leave what you have and take home something someone else grew. \n🎟️ GRAB YOUR TICKETS NOW!\nWe’re limited to just 75 people for the 1–3 PM presentation and tasting. Grab your spot early if you’d like to join us! \nREGISTER HERE! \nFREE if you volunteer\n$10 to attend\nKids are FREE \nAnd remember\, the 3–5 PM Maker’s Fair is completely FREE and open to everyone—no ticket required! \nCome learn some new recipes\, taste some delicious things\, spend time with your fellow fruit friends\, share the bounty\, and celebrate what makes this community so much fun. \nWe can’t wait to see you there! \n— Monterey Bay CRFG

SUMMARY:🍎 🍎 Apple Tasting October 17!
DESCRIPTION:Hi everyone\, \nI wanted to send a brief note to share the date for this year’s Apple Tasting at the Wilder Ranch Harvest Festival on Saturday\, October 17. \nThere are often more than 70 varieties of apples to taste. Due to this year’s unusual weather\, we will likely see some varieties that usually ripen too late for the tasting\, which will be a special treat. The Harvest Festival will also feature many other non-apple activities. \nPlease see the link below for more details on the Harvest Festival. There will be a small fee for the apple tasting: $5 for individuals\, $8 for couples\, and $10 for families. \nhttps://www.santacruz.org/upcoming-event/wilder-ranch-state-park-harvest-festival/ \nI will send out pre-registration details in September. \nThanks\,\nLaura \n— \n\nLaura Confal\nChairperson\, MBCRFG
