Clove Valley is a permaculture-inspired and community-powered farm in the 18th year of development. It is a productive market garden, nursery and a center for education, arts, and healing. Come see how the once swampy clay land has been transformed into gorgeous and abundant permanent raised beds! Tour the gardens and greenhouses and get the farmer's perspective on the land with a chance to have your questions answered.
We'll begin with the farm tour, and then harvesting of various herbs and greens. You'll be invited to glean veggies to take home! Then we'll all head back to the outdoor kitchen and make all sorts of pestos. Pesto can be made all season long, even without basil and pine nuts! There are so many delicious options for pestos, and they freeze incredibly well, so it's a perfect opportunity to stock up on raw herbs and greens for winter.
Leave with at least one jar of pesto, and with the skills to make more at home!
