CRAFT Tour: Growing and Cooking Asian Vegetables

September 29, 2022
5:00 pm
Chester, NY

Have you ever wondered what the difference between all the "Asian greens" are? Seed catalogs tend to lump them all together but each one is distinct and unique in its own way. The tour at Choy Division in Chester, NY will look at various greens, the cultures they belong to, and what culinary qualities are desirable when growing for an Asian community. We will touch lightly on general growing information, but the primary focus of our tour will be on how to select and harvest the variety of crops for different Asian communities. At the end of our farm tour, there will be an opportunity to taste these greens cooked using the Chinese method, hotpot.

This will be a multilingual event, with live interpretation provided by the Hudson Valley Language Justice Collective. Transportation to the event is available if you RSVP by September 23.
