Chef Nadine participates as a visiting Chef Educator in Wednesday is Internal Learning Day @ Stone Barns
Every Wednesday, Stone Barns Center and Blue Hill will bring the entire campus—farmers, cooks, educators, waiters, porters, foragers, mechanics, and artisans—together in the field, kitchen, and classroom: learning from each other and from visiting farmers, chefs and researchers. Community groups, students, farmer trainees and wellness professionals will also join us, sharing diverse perspectives and helping Stone Barns Center imagine a healthier and more equitable food culture.
Stone Barns Farmer Jason Jason Grauer talking about seed saving at the Seed Lab: Seed as an Evolutionary Tool
The Seed Lab workshop will explore the basics of what seed is, how it is produced, and the challenges associated with harvesting and cleaning seed such as grain on a small scale. The hands-on component will focus on actual seed saving and various seed cleaning equipment including screens, vacuum seed cleaners, and group activities.
AN OVERVIEW:
Stone Barns Center believes that creating deep and lasting change in the food system requires a broad diversity of actors at the table, representing a full range of disciplines, backgrounds, and experiences. Our responsibility is to undertake efforts to ensure that voices from across the food systems change space are included, valued, and heard. Our mission is better served by a more diverse – in all ways – set of leaders and changemakers.
Community Education Wednesday (CEW)! CEW will focus on bidirectional, engaged learning that utilizes the campus as a place of testing, training, and idea dissemination. Each Wednesday, the entire campus of farmers, chefs, artisans, and staff will come together with guest experts, researchers, and partner organizations for a day of explorative learning and connection.
HOW WE WILL LEARN:
We will all come together for Community Education Wednesday in the following format: Mornings will be devoted to our Community Training Program and afternoons to Lab Learning and an educational Family Meal. The topic areas will focus on the intersection of food and agriculture, inspiring innovative, community-based solutions that directly impact our environment, food access, diet, and wellbeing.
