Jam and Pickles

In a very small hands-on class (6 people maximum) we'll be learning: 

- all the tricks with fruit jams (we'll be making rhubarb and strawberry jam)

- how to preserve fruit jam so it's shelf stable

- make incredibly good tomato chilli jam

- make zucchini bread and butter pickles (good with EVERYTHING)

The day includes morning tea and lunch, a farm tour, masterclass-type hands-on instruction, recipe book, and you'll take home two jars of jam (rhubarb/strawberry and tomato chill) and a jar of zucchini pickles. 

Cancellations

Given we are operating in the age of COVID, we understand you might need to cancel at the last minute if you wake up with a cough or runny nose on the morning of your class. Please give us as much warning as you possibly can, but also please don't attend if you are at all unwell; we'll refund you or re-book you. 

About The Farm

Buena Vista Farm is a small sustainable farm on the outskirts of Gerringong, just under 2 hours drive south of Sydney. Buena Vista is a family-owned and -run enterprise, with continual family ownership dating back to the 1850s. The farm is currently run by Fiona and Adam Walmsley, with Fiona’s parents also still living on the farm. It is now primarily a small goat dairy with cheeseroom, a commercial market garden, bee hives, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, guinea fowl, kitchen garden, herb garden, an established coffee grove, small orchard and cut flower garden. As well as a range of goat cheese and goat milk soap, the farm produces jams, pickles and ferments from their commercial kitchen which are sold weekly at local farmers markets. Farm tour and cooking classes are hosted on the farm on weekends specialising in sourdough bread baking, cheesemaking and fermentation.
