SUMMARY:Beginners Salami & Chorizo Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basics of making a simple salami and chorizo\, from the stuffing\, to the fermentation process\, the curing\, and ultimately turn your excess minced meat into a delicious shelf stable product that doesn't need refrigeration. Part of our food security and food independence series of workshops\, this introduction to salami making will enable you to preserve excess pork and beef mince into a delicious product at less than 30% of the price. \nWe will look at the different types of casing for the salami and chorizo\, different ways and equipment used to stuff your casings\, as well as what flavourings you can use to flavour your meat. \nWe will then look at how to start the fermentation effectively\, and how to cure your product at home without it going mouldy or the skin drying out. Using 500grams of Free Range Yaffingale Pork from Oxford Sandy & Black pigs\, you will then make a 250g chorizo\, and a 250g salami for you to take home\, ferment and cure at home\, and you will be eating this product within just 4 weeks. This workshop is designed to give you the knowledge and confidence to make much more at home. \nDuring the duration of the workshop\, you will have the opportunity to taste home made salami and chorizo*\, made from the same mince you will be using from the rare breed Oxford Sandy & Black free range pigs reared here.  Price includes 500grams of free range pork mince\, as well as casings\, flavourings\, and everything you need to make and take home your own produce. \n* This workshop is set in a family kitchen environment where cats and dogs have been / are present - Some salami's also contain nuts. Please inform the host of any allergies and do not put yourself at risk.

SUMMARY:Working with Fibre (from sheep to finished garment) come and see how its done
DESCRIPTION:Come and meet Sue on her small holding\, Sue has a flock of sheep (Shetland) and is very keen to pass on her numerous ancient craft skills of spinning\, dyeing and weaving. \nSue uses her own wool which she can dye using produce from her own garden and then using her own spinning wheels and loom ends up with some fabulous end results. \nDuring the morning Sue will show you around and you will meet the sheep and see the gardening plots as well as seeing how the spinning wheels and looms work. \nHand spinning is a traditional process using fibre and either a spinning wheel or a drop spindle.  The ideal fleece for hand spinning has a long staple.  The prepared wool will have been washed and carded (combed) so that it is easier to spin. Why do we spin fibre? Spinning creates a twist in the fibre which is consistent.  Fibre which has not been twisted in a long length does not have any strength and would break if we tried to use it in any fibre craft. \n \nTea and Coffee will be provided during the morning\, please dress appropriately for a walk around outside. \nSunninglye Farmhouse is a white weatherboard medieval farmhouse at the end of the track (about 200m) with plenty of parking\, just keep right on the track and ignore the oust and barn to the left.
