Fruit and Spice Park, 24801 Southwest 187th Avenue in Homestead, hosts Preserve the Harvest on Saturday, November 21. The demonstrative workshop walks participants through food preservation methods that keep garden and farmers-market produce from going to waste, aimed at both curious beginners and seasoned enthusiasts.

Learning the old ways in the Redland

The Redland grows a remarkable range of tropical fruit, and November is when the harvest settles into its slower rhythm. A workshop like this connects that abundance to the kitchen: canning, fermenting and other preservation methods that let a family enjoy the season's fruit months later. Fruit and Spice Park is the right classroom, surrounded by the very orchards the produce comes from.

Plan your visit

Hours and ticket details for the workshop are posted on the park's event page, and spaces in demonstrative workshops fill quickly, so booking ahead is the reliable route. Families can make an afternoon of it, wandering the tropical grounds after the class. It is a useful, hands-on way to spend a Saturday in the Redland.
