Fermented foods are famously nourishing and delicious. Come learn how the basics of lacto-fermentation techniques and what you need to get fermenting at home! In this hands-on class, we'll discuss a little about the traditions and nutrition of fermented foods, and then we'll make our own sauerkraut and taste a variety of other naturally fermented vegetable condiments. Once you start introducing these foods into your diet, you will never want to stop! Class includes all materials needed. Participants will each take home jars of beginning fermented sauerkraut and recipes to make more at home.

Flowers in the Field Happy Hour… the last of this growing season!

What could be better than watching the sunset from our flower patch, with delicious farm snacks and friends? This is a perfect chance to get outside for a night off and enjoy the beauty of the farm, with your own bouquet to bring home. Since the days are getting shorter and fall is now upon us, this final Flowers in the Field of the year will be on Saturday afternoon, 9/16 from 4-5:30pm.

Fall is a time bursting with color and elements that showcase the changing of the seasons. This time we’ll talk about some color theory and design concepts as well as harvest and bouquet assembly tips. No prior experience of any kind needed!

Class includes all materials needed. BYOB.

Hosting this event will be our own veteran floral designer, Katherine, and our Education Manager Jess, who ran her own cut-flower farm before joining Codman. Both love sharing their passion for flowers and will be available to answer your questions!

UPDATE: Sadly, this year’s Tour de Codman is cancelled due to poor weather predicted. Keep an eye out for next year’s event and have a great weekend!

When signing up you will need to select a start time as groups will depart every 20 minutes with a lead biker, starting at 10 am. Please plan to arrive and be ready to go 15 minutes before the start time you registered for.  We will email all registered participants with more detailed information about the route.

The Tour de Codman will start at Codman Farm and will take cyclists on a nearly 12 mile loop through Lincoln along roads and paths, featuring stops at three remote pastures where farm staff and volunteers will give a short talk on the farm's sustainable, pasture-based agriculture before returning to the farm for coffee, cider and donuts.  We welcome all ages but cyclists must be comfortable maintaining a 10-12 mph pace along Lincoln's roads.  The route will spend as much time as possible on bike paths and quiet roads.  Any bike in good working order should suffice.  Please plan to bring your own water and snacks for the route, and don’t forget your helmet (required).  The ride leader will have basic tools but riders should plan to be self sufficient.  The total time for the ride, with stops, should be under 2 hours.

Join us on Thursday, June 29th from 6:30-8pm for what we hope will be the first of many flower socials out in the field this season!
