Autumn Harvest Festival

Sunday 8 May 2011 10.30am-5pm

 

Right through autumn we hurry to harvest Lavandula's fruit, vegetables, nuts, grapes and olives. Then we process them for winter food.

At our little autumn festival we demonstrate how our crops are harvested and processed:

• Jam making
• Fruit bottling
• Roasting chestnuts
• Basketmaking with lavender
• Pickling olives with lemon or brine
• Marinating your own olives

And you'll find a few stalls:

• the season's organic foraged fruit
• Barfold olives
• Chestnuts, fresh or roasted
• Gorgeous (live) chooks and fresh eggs
• Swiss Italian family history
• Travel tales of Ticino
  

Entry: $5 adults, $2 school-age children
