dying economy of Hardwick, Vermont.
Joining Jill and Ben will be local chefs, Sequim farmer Kia Kozun of Nash's Organic Produce, Chris Curtis, the Director of Seattle's Neighborhood Farmer Market Alliance and Mary Embleton, Director of the Cascade Harvest Coalition.

Walnuts to Liqueur:
Making Nocino with Chef
Beth Maxey
12pm - Saturday, June 26, 2010
 Nocino is a traditional Italian liqueur made with green walnuts,
spices and alcohol. It has a rich earthy flavor and is delicious as a
digestive, over ice cream and as a reduction over duck breast...
Join Slow Food Seattle board member Chef Beth Maxey
from 12pm - 1:30pm on Saturday June 26th for a
free hands-on Nocino making event in Volunteer Park and in an online community
in the upcoming weeks as we share tips and forage for green walnuts
( which are plentiful around the city). Please reply to beth@slowfoodseattle.org to let us know you're participating so we can accommodate everyone with
interest and share foraging and Nocino making tips with you even if you
cannot make the event.
A brief list of supplies and exact location will be sent to email
responders before the event.
