Visitors can observe or help out in this late summer program by assisting the gardener with the harvesting of heirloom vegetables from the garden. These vegetables will be brought to the kitchen and clean and processed using traditional pickling methods. This event features one of the main methods of food preservation in the 19th Century. It draws attention to pickling, and uses traditional techniques, hands-on demonstration and audience participation to engage visitors.
