Tuesday, Oct. 6 LOCAL GRAIN ECONOMY: Local Grain Economy - Tour of Philmont Community Bakery and Hawthorne Valley Bakery. Tuesday, October 6, 2020from 7:00- 8:00 pm. Online, recorded video tour. To demonstrate the local grain economy, Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Albany and Ulster Counties are holding an online tour of Philmont Community Bakery and Hawthorne Valley Bakery on Tuesday, October 6, 2020 at 7:00pm EDT. Philmont Community Bakery has a New American Mill and Hawthorne Valley Bakery has a Meadows Mill, which are used for grinding flour from local grain. Grain farmers, and farmers who want to grow grain, will learn about local grain markets and get a look at these two small-scale mills that process grains. Bakers and those who want to start a bakery will see how baking is done on a small-scale and learn why these two bakeries mill a portion of their own flour. We will also take a couple of minutes to explain the 20-C commercial processing license issued from NYS Ag & Markets which is needed for grinding flour and baking. Over the past few years, food grain production in the Northeast has been making a comeback. There is strong interest in local food, and the current pandemic has illustrated the importance of producing food locally to make it accessible. Recently, CCE held an online tour of Ardent Mill in Albany that serves the entire Northeast. This second tour will focus on small-scale regional millers/bakers and farmers, to illustrate what is referred to as the local grain economy. This online tour and discussion will help you understand the challenges and opportunities in the local grain economy. Register online ($5) at https://tinyurl.com/OnlineBakeryTour to receive an internet link to the meeting. For those new to Zoom online meetings, a practice session will be held at 6pm. For program questions contact Aaron Gabriel (CCE – Capital Area Agriculture and Horticulture Program), 518-3801496, adg12@cornell. edu or Christian Malsatski (CCE – Ulster), 845-3403990, cpm78@cornell.edu.

Class will be at the Sustainable Living Center and Greenhouse in Central Park, Schenectady. Fall is the best time of year in Upstate NY for planting garlic. Join CCE Horticulture Educators and Master Gardener Volunteers for this hands-on workshop in the garden! We will go through the steps in selecting garlic varieties, planting, caring for, harvesting and curing. Each participant will receive 10garlic seeds for planting at home. Additional garlic seed will be available for purchase at $2a head. Are you curious what your soil pH is? Bring along a cup of dry soil from your garden site and we will test it for you and give recommendations as needed. Each person will have their own table and will be spread out for social distancing. Please wear a mask. More information on the program, including registration, is available online at cceschenectady.org/events.
