11:30, 1:30 and 3:30

Massachusetts Craft Fellowship award-winner Robbie Heidinger and environmental philosopher Kurt Heidinger create Permacultural Ceramics for people interested in beauty, community-supported agriculture, self-sufficiency, food-making and physical & spiritual health. This Sunday they’ll present their pickling crocks, and invite your participation to help them make delicious lactobacillus-fermented foods using fresh winter vegetables provided by our Foodshed farmers—of the kind that Sandor Katz describes in his foodie-classic Wild Fermentation.

FOOD TASTING: 2 p.m.
Dimples Dumplings, a brand-new local company, wants Foodshed shoppers to try out their dumplings and give them feedback. Says founder Abraham Post, “We feel it’s time for a dumpling makeover and Dimples will lead the way!  Imagine a perfectly seasoned charred ground beef and cheese center, or a chicken in spicy pepper sauce, or a broccoli, cheese and potato filling individually wrapped in a thin, springy, savory yet lightly sweetened dough.  Does this sound like we are re-constructing products we frequently enjoy: cheeseburgers, Buffalo chicken, knishes?  Well that’s the point.  We are not looking for a sweeping change, but a satisfying one, so we can build on what we crave and find comfort in.”
