Hands-On Workshop:
Seasonal Food Preservation

Our workshops bring neighbors together to learn simple, practical ways to preserve seasonal food. We cover basic canning, quick pickling, and lacto-fermentation like sauerkraut and kimchi, as well as making fruit chutneys, fire-roasted salsas, and dried herb blends. Come gain new kitchen skills and take home your own jars of handmade goods!

Wise Occidental Women

Wise Occidental Women (WOW) meet twice monthly. During each gathering elder neighbors either discuss a local issue (aging in place, fire resilience etc.), provide support for nonprofits/food drives/cooking fundraisers, or enjoy some crafting or food preservation together.

Firesafe Occidental Meetings

The farm hosts Firesafe Occidental’s Leadership Council meetings as well as quarterly neighborhood gatherings. Firesafe Occidental is a volunteer-run resource for creating a connected and fire-resilient community in and around the Occidental area.
