Join us for a cooking demo and book signing with Maria Finn, author of Forage. Gather. Feast. To showcase the change in seasons and the offerings of Gold Ridge Organic Farms, Maria will be making smoked and pickled mushrooms - a favorite amongst her many wonderful recipes, and truly the perfect autumnal treat as mushroom season is upon us. As rosehips are abundant this time of year, she will also be making a rose hip and heirloom apple jam.
