All are welcome to attend the Eight Annual Autumn Abundance Celebration at The Commons (501 East 13th Street, Silver City, NM) on Saturday, November 9th from 10am-2pm. Those who have harvested mesquite pods can have their pods milled into flour using the community hammermill that is permanently housed at The Commons. Pods must be crispy dry (pods may be dried in a dehydrator, in your car, or in a low-heat oven). There is a suggested donation of $4/gallon of un-milled pods for the mesquite milling.
This year's event is co-facilitated by the Southwest New Mexico Seed Library. Attendees are encouraged to bring vegetable or flower seeds they would like to donate to the library. Volunteers will be on hand to receive seeds
that will become integrated into this wonderful, free, community resource.
The free potluck will feature gluten-free mesquite-flour pancakes with prickly-pear syrup and coffee. We encourage participants to bring a potluck item to share.
Those without mesquite pods to mill are very welcome to come and learn about the process, participate in sorting mesquite pods, watch the hammermill in action, and enjoy the free potluck brunch!
