Normal meat birds are slaughtered at 14 weeks of age. They are young and tender. However\, laying hens live for 1-3 years\, meaning special care is needed to soften their meat and make it more palatable. In a world of increasing interest in food security\, stewing hens are a great source of protein\, and are a much cheaper option for chicken meat than regular meat birds. \nIn this workshop you will learn \n\nAbout the history of stewing hens\,\nHow to break down a bird into its parts (a transferable skill for meat birds too)\,\nHow to use all the parts of the bird\,\nAnd several methods for cooking stewing hens.\n\nYou will also have the opportunity to sample stewing hen meat prepared in several ways\, learning on your tongue how different cooking methods affect the bird on your palate. \nIncluded in the cost of the workshop is one stewing hen that participants will take home. \nAbout the Instructor\nJenn Cline is an amalgamate farmer-chef\, the perfect individual to guide you \n \nthrough a farm to fork cookery lesson on stewing hens. As a Farmer with six years of experience\, she knows that not all chickens are created equal\, and that caring about the chicken you eat means caring about the plants\, soil and watershed that grow your chicken. As a trained Chef with eight years of professional cooking experience\, she knows a thing or two about transforming quality raw ingredients into a feast for our senses and nourishment for our minds and bodies. She has not cooked just a chicken or two\, but hundreds\, spending hours honing her butchery and cooking skills. Jenn loves being an intermediary between the fields and people’s palates\, and hopes to inspire all her class participants to become more mindful eaters. \n \nPowered by Eventbrite URL:https://arocha.ca/event/cooking-with-stewing-hens-surrey-bc/ LOCATION:A Rocha’s Brooksdale Environmental Centre\, 1620 192 St\, Surrey\, British Columbia\, V3Z 9V2\, Canada CATEGORIES:Brooksdale ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arocha.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/sVra9XR8QIyVNiKmH1bs_FK1A2330.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20200125T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20200125T120000 DTSTAMP:20260426T023419 CREATED:20191212T024426Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191212T024953Z UID:29248-1579944600-1579953600@arocha.ca SUMMARY:Restoration Saturday (Surrey\, BC) DESCRIPTION:Restoration Saturdays are a great way to learn practical skills in creation care.

Ever wonder if the bath and beauty products you daily use on your body are good for you and the environment.

Take charge of your health by taking charge of your beauty. \nThrough easy to follow\, step-by-step\, hands-on instruction\, you will learn: \n\nAbout the basic ingredients needed to to make your all-natural cosmetics\,\nHow to make hand soap\,\nHow to make face wash\,\nAnd how to make bath salts.\n\nYou’ll take home each of the things you make (a $25 retail value) as well as the recipes\, so you can make more whenever you run out. \nAll products can be made scent neutral for those with sensitivities or allergies. Your home made cosmetics will be made from all natural ingredients\, free of additives\, preservatives or other chemicals that can be harmful for health and the environment. \nAbout the Instructor\nNorma Hogan first learned about the basic principles of natural cosmetics at a David Suzuki Foundation Queen of Green workshop over ten years ago. Since then she has been making her own cleaning and cosmetic products\, selling them and other green products under her brands Ahimsa Green Products\, as well as leading workshops. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge in this fun and simple workshop! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite URL:https://arocha.ca/event/natural-cosmetics-beauty-workshop-surrey-bc/ LOCATION:A Rocha’s Brooksdale Environmental Centre\, 1620 192 St\, Surrey\, British Columbia\, V3Z 9V2\, Canada CATEGORIES:Brooksdale ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://arocha.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/natural-cosmetics-3397277_1920.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20191130T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20191130T123000 DTSTAMP:20260426T023419 CREATED:20190919T220345Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190919T220345Z UID:28511-1575104400-1575117000@arocha.ca SUMMARY:Restoration Saturday (Surrey\, BC) DESCRIPTION:Join A Rocha’s Brooksdale conservation team for a morning of habitat restoration and enhancement.\nGet your hands dirty planting native trees and shrubs\, removing exotic invasive vegetation (such as Himalayan blackberry or English Ivy)\, building fences to keep livestock away from watercourses\, creating new wetlands and much more. \nThe team will meet at the A Rocha Brooksdale Environmental Centre (1620 192 St – Surrey\, BC) and will travel to the restoration site from there.
