Corn originated in the Americas, and was a common staple food for many of its indigenous peoples. A Pittsburgh activity will show how modern small scale growers can cultivate this crop.
In early October, Grow Pittsburgh will be running its “Growing and Processing Small Scale Staple Crops: Corn” class, and it may be of interest to home horticulturalists as well as hobby farmers, and other growers may find it helpful too. Tickets are $10 each, and the session will run for two hours.
The workshop will introduce a variety of topics, and the participants will learn how it is possible to grow food even in a small amount of space. Homegrown Handagthered’s Jordan Tony will serve as the facilitator, and everyone in the class will discover how easy it can be to grow the crop and also how to harvest, store and process small catches of heirloom grain corn. This is a popular ingredient in dishes such as tacos, cornbread, and polenta.
Home horticulturalists and other growers are often eager to learn some new skills, and workshops provide them with an opportunity to do so. Stationery printers can prepare Copies of handouts and other learning materials for a class or other educational event.
Shilo Farm, which is located at 7209 Thomas Boulevard in Pittsburgh, has made plans to welcome learners for this session on October 8. It is scheduled to begin at 11:00 am.
