Mission Garden grows hundreds of traditional local crops. The monthly Tasting History is an opportunity to learn about their origins, how they became part of our local agricultural and culinary traditions, how to grow them at home, and more. Docents will demonstrate and share tastings, written materials and recipes. You may arrive and approach the Tasting History information tables any time between 9am and 11am to learn and ask questions.
In May we feature wheat. Wheat has been grown here since it was introduced by the first Europeans!
Please reach out to Kendall Kroesen, Mission Garden Outreach Coordinator at kendall@missiongarden.org for additional information.
