Morena Permaculture whānau,

We have a few exciting events coming up on the calendar. 

The first event to share is this one:

The Daily Grind:
From Corn to Tortillas
Sunday 2 August:
10.00 am – 2.00 pm

Join us for a Mexican inspired shared lunch as we explore the journey of corn from dried kernels to masa harina, and finally to fresh, homemade tortillas.

Louise Phillips from Bee Haven will guide us through the process of preparing and grinding corn before demonstrating how to mix, press, and cook delicious tortillas from scratch. It's a great opportunity to learn a practical food processing skill, connect with others, and enjoy sharing a meal together.

During the workshop we'll explore:

  • Which corn varieties grow well in our local environment.
  • How to process dried corn into masa harina.
  • What to look for when choosing a grain mill.
  • How to make fresh tortillas using masa harina and a tortilla press.

After the demonstration, we'll enjoy a Mexican inspired potluck lunch together. Please bring a plate of food, dessert, or a drink to share.

We'll also be holding a seed and plant swap, so if you have spare seeds, seedlings, cuttings, or other propagation material, bring them along to swap with others.

Sunday 2 August:
10.00 am – 2.00 pm


Where: EIT Waipukurau Campus Kitchen
52 Russell Street, Waipukurau (up the road from New World)

I will send out a reminder closer to the day. 

A huge thank you to Setha and Roddy for so generously sharing both their knowledge and their home with us for the seed processing workshop.

And a huge thank you to all the amazing team for the work done for the Waipawa Community dinner. 

See you all soon, 

Beck

Hi Beck,
That sounds wonderful.

Cheers
