Corn plays an important role in the myths and culture of Green Bay’s indigenous peoples, and this will be the central point for a local harvest festival.
August is synonymous with fresh corn on the cob, and the Green Bay Botanical Gardens’ Ohe-Láku Farm Tour & Harvesting Workshop will offer insight into the role the crop played, and continues to play, in the lives of the Oneida people. It will be hands-on occasion, and it will see the participants spend time in the field.
The day will open with a presentation that explains the history and cultural significance of corn, and after this, Laura Manthe will share some harvesting tips with the group. Once they are ready, the attendees will be taken to the field so they can pick a bag of cobs to take home, husk, and enjoy for dinner. They may even be able to learn some new preparation techniques for this popular summer crop.
A class that covers food growing and preparation may see recipe cards distributed. These items can readily be prepared by area Stationery printers, which will also be able to offer Letterheads and other custom business documents.
The Green Bay Botanical Garden will be offering this delve into the history and harvest of corn on Monday, August 14. Both Garden members and the general public are encouraged to take part.
