Experience Homefields

From storm water management and yoga to native plantings and beekeeping, “Experience Homefields” connects local experts to residents, shareholders, and the community, promoting wellness and sustainability through information and education.

Participants will take a walk in the PYO fields to learn about the many different varieties of basil grown on the farm. Characteristics and uses of each type of basil will be emphasized. After collecting some basil tips on many ways to use basil will be explained and demonstrated (e.g., drying, freezing, making pesto) and participants will receive recipes and have an opportunity to taste some basil products. Other herbs may also be discussed.Dominique Didier is a Professor of Biology at Millersville University with an expertise in marine biology and a passion for experimenting in the kitchen.
