Saturday, May 3, 10am-4pm
$95 members; $105 non-members. (Includes materials and lunch)
Stock your medicine cabinet with a variety of homemade remedies for everyday ailments – bruises, cuts, burns, or sore muscles – all made from natural ingredients. Learn about the properties of plants from the back yard, as well as from the spice rack, and how to make tinctures, extracts, balms, salves, and rubs, then make your own to take home. It’s an inexpensive, natural, and fun alternative to a trip to the pharmacy. Please bring an apron, wear comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, and closed-toe shoes.
Join the knowledgeable staff at Fenimore Farm and experience one or more of the annual Spring Workshops taking place on Saturdays in April and May. Whether you’re looking to learn a new skill or just have a desire to create something unique and handmade, these workshops will get you motivated. The museum’s resident experts will guide you every step of the way. The workshops focus on activities including blacksmithing, baking, natural medicines, and broom making. Register now and enjoy a productive day on the Farm this spring.
All workshops require advance registration. For more information and to register, visit FenimoreFarm.org/events. Workshops are held at Fenimore Farm & Country Village located at 5775 State Highway 80, Cooperstown, New York.
