Farm to Food Pantry Processing

Our first processing of the 2016 season!

Thanks to our incredibly generous local growers, we have LOTS of tomatoes this week, so we will be making tomato sauce for freezing and winter distribution at Ulster County food pantries and feeding programs! We will be there from 9am on, with a break in the middle of the day for the Volunteer Orientation, which will be held at the Rondout Municipal Center in Cottekill from 1-2pm. Hopefully we’ll be done making the sauce by noon so it can cool during the orientation and then we can return in the afternoon to put it in bags and load it in to the freezer. We could use LOTS of helpers and you are welcome to join us for any and all of the day – please let us know if you can make it.

To get the the RV High School kitchen, take the 3rd Street entrance and drive around to the loading dock behind the green house. Enter through the loading dock, walk past the walk-in coolers to the kitchen. Register below, email glean@ulstercorps.org, or cal/text 845-481-0331 to sign up.
