TO:        Grow Food Amherst Friends and Fans

Just wanted to let you know of two upcoming events! 

Jam Making Workshop
Thursday, June 20 - 6:00-8:00pm
Bangs Community Center
Strawberries are in season and at their peek flavor! Join Peg Thibbitts to learn how to cook and preserve this bountiful fruit so that you can enjoy it all year long!  The workshop is free but limited to twenty participants.

Please contact Amherst Sustainability Coordinator, Stephanie Ciccarello, at (413) 259-3149 or cicca...@amherstma.gov to reserve a spot!

Free Tomato Plants at the Wednesday Farmers Market
