​Upcoming Events

Fire Cider Making Workshop

Date: September 18
Time: 4:30-6:30pm
Location: Stonecipher Farm at 1186 River Road Bowdoinham, ME
Cost: $40
Registration is required. 

Join AVSWCD and Stephanie Broido of Rooted Body Botanicals for a fun hands-on fire cider making workshop utilizing locally grown produce right from Stonecipher Farm. The term 'fire cider' wasn't coined until the 80's, but this health tonic has been used for thousands of years! Learn about the health benefits, and tips and tricks to make for the ultimate fire cider tonic. Each participant will make a jar of their own to take home. The tonic will infuse for 6 weeks and be ready to enjoy right in time to keep those fall flus at bay.
Attendees are required to bring their own 16 oz mason jar, cutting board, and knife. All other materials will be provided, most ingredients will be sourced right from Stonecipher Farm.
We hope to see you there for a spicy night of creation, community, and soaking up the beautiful September sunshine.
