NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. Please check back for future updates about Pepper Power!
Participants will take a walk in the PYO fields to learn about the many different varieties of peppers grown on the farm. Characteristics, health benefits, and uses of each type of pepper will be emphasized. After collecting some peppers, some of the many ways to use peppers will be explained and demonstrated (e.g., canning, smoking, making paprika) and participants will receive recipes and have an opportunity to taste some pepper products.
