A Summer of Culinary Delights
During our Farmers Market Camps, our enthusiastic campers delved into the culinary world. They honed their baking skills, mastered the art of chopping, and even ventured into creating delectable jams from the bountiful harvest of our mulberry tree. They also explored the art of pickling cucumbers, further expanding their culinary repertoire. At the end of the week, campers sold their goods at the youth-run Farmers Market!
