PARK at Trinity United Methodist Church in the GRAVEL parking lot and take the crosswalk carefully (watch for people turning left onto Garland) to meet at the farm. The Red bus line has a stop next door to the farm. We also encourage you to bicycle to Tri Cycle! The farm consists of the Rock House at 1705 N. Garland, the red barn behind it, and the 2 acres behind the barn. If you do not see anyone working in the garden or at the barn when you arrive, please knock on the front door of the Rock House, which is right in front of the farm at 1705 N. Garland.

Herb Cooking Class with Heather Artripe
2019-04-13 11:00 - 12:00 | Trinity United Methodist Church, 1021 W Sycamore St, Fayetteville , AR, 72703, United States
Right after our Herb Walk with Jenny Dietzel around Tri Cycle Farms, join Heather Artripe of Ozark Natural Foods for a deliciously herb focused class. In this class we will talk about a few common herbs that are easy to grow at home or that are readily available locally. We will talk about what herbs pair well together, other dishes that pair well with them, as well as how to store them so you get as much use out of the herbs as possible. This class will be packed full of flavor. Some herbs that will make an appearance are cilantro, parsley, mint, rosemary, basil, dill, thyme, just to name a few. We will also be making a couple easy dishes that are vibrant in fresh herb flavor.

About the teacher:
Heather Artripe works at Ozark Natural Foods. She has been there for 10 ½ years and has been teaching cooking classes at the Co-op for the past 6 years. She learned to cook the old fashion way, standing on a chair in her Granny’s kitchen starting at the age of 4. She has been cooking her whole life with the guidance of her peers, her family, and her friends. Her favorite culinary herb would be an even tie between rosemary, basil, dill, parsley, and cilantro.
