The Shop Local/Eat Local Workshop will be held from 10:00am to noon at their office located at 4633 US RT 68, Yellow Springs.
It will be presented by two enthusiastic local gardeners, food shoppers, and cooks Magaw and Carlson,
who will share their techniques for shopping, foraging, storing, and cooking local
foods. They will demonstrate how to make broth bag soup base and a variety of pestos and other
creative meal makers, using what is in your refrigerator and cupboards. Also there will be tips on how to
stock your pantry for meals in a pinch.
Magaw is well known in Yellow Springs for her cooking skills. She is also the Executive Director
of the Tecumseh Land Trust. Carlson has worked on Heartbeat Farm, a CSA, and is currently
recommending tasty food and wine pairings at the Emporium. Every year new varieties of local
vegetables, meats, and cheeses are available in our area, making dinner more and more delicious and
interesting.
The workshop is free to Tecumseh Land Trust members. Non‐members can participate for $25
and will receive a membership to TLT. Registration is required. Participants will leave with several
recipes and meal ideas for the week and beyond. Go to www.tecumsehlandtrust.org or call 934‐767‐
