Join the stewards of the Edgewater Food Forest for an afternoon of Halloween fun and harvesting! On October 25th, the Edgewater Food Forest is hosting their annual Halloween Parade and Black Walnut Harvesting Workshop.

Starting at 2pm, the Halloween Parade is a family-friendly neighborhood celebration. Come for fun and activities for all ages, prizes, and a spook-tacular time! Costumes are encouraged.

At 3:30, Alex Klein, a trained herbalist and longtime instructor with BFFC, will join us to lead us in harvesting and processing black walnuts. Learn about black walnut trees as a keystone species in food forest design, and explore the steps of hulling, soaking, cracking, and enjoying the walnuts themselves. We’ll also discuss health benefits, recipe ideas, and more!

This event is a collaboration between Edgewater Neighborhood Association and Boston Food Forest Coalition.

We're building a compost bay at the Maple Street Food Forest from scratch — and you’re invited to help us build it!

In the process, you’ll learn why compost is so important to the health of the ecosystem. In this hands-on workshop, attendees will get to see how compost gets started and will learn every step of the composting process along the way. Light refreshments will be served!

Instructor Eru Kyeyune-Nyombi has a PhD in chemistry and a life-long passion for compost, and will lead the attendees in constructing the compost bay and how to start composting on site.
