Two collectors of modern dinnerware share some of their favorite tablecloths, featuring designs by Marguerita Mergentime, Ruth Reeves, Marion Dorn, Dororthy Liebes, and Mary Wright. These women, working at the top tier of industrial design during the first half of the 20th century, brought modern sensibilities to a deep appreciation of traditional textile arts. Pracht and Spinner will weave together biographical and historical information with vivid photos of colorful tablescapes.

Have you ever wanted fresh herbs in the middle of the winter without having to drive to the grocery store? Or you want to grow plants indoors because you don't have any garden space outside? Follow along with one AADL staff member's experiments to grow herbs in his basement in the cold months. Don't let the lack of space or sun keep you from making winter pesto!

Join Hanna as she makes a blood orange cake, a simple winter treat that highlights seasonal citrus!

This panel discussion brings together some of the contributors to the recent anthology “The Provisions of War: Expanding the Boundaries of Food and Conflict 1840-1990.” The central theme of this book, and of our panel discussion, is how soldiers, civilians, and communities have attempted to use food (and its absence, deprivation and hunger) as both a weapon of war and a unifying force in establishing governmental control and cultural cohesion during times of conflict.

Many CSAs take the form of a vegetable box or subscription that you receive or pick up each week during the growing season. But did you know that there are lots of unique CSAs available too? AADL talks with Adrianne Gammie of Marilla Field flower farm talks about her flower CSA and explains how more unusual CSAs work!

Interested in signing up for a CSA this year but not sure what exactly a CSA is? Alex Ball, owner of Old City Acres, a Washtenaw County farm that offers CSAs each year tells us a little bit about what CSAs are, how they benefit farmers and the community and what you might expect out of your CSA!

CSA stands for Community-supported agriculture or cropsharing. It's a system that connects the producer and consumers directly, allowing the consumer to subscribe to the harvest of a certain farm or group of farms.

Join The Farm at St. Joe's education coordinator Laura Meisler for an agricultural adventure! We'll enjoy hands-on activities centered on nutritious vegetables and how they grow.

Play the Seed Match Game, interact with our Soil Model, plant your own greens, try a Vegetable Taste Test and make a veggie print tote bag to take home.

For at least 6000 years, people have summoned sourdough starter seemingly out of the air and combined it with milled wheat, water and a dash of salt to produce “the staff of life”: bread. Professor Eric Pallant takes us on a 6,000-year journey through history as we learn why bread (and not the slicer) was the greatest invention of all time. We will meet ancient Egyptian pyramid builders, bygone Roman bakers, medieval housewives, Gold Rush miners, and historical figures like Plato, Pliny the Elder and Marie Antoinette.

Five area farmers will come together to discuss how they practice regenerative agriculture, and why doing so is important to them, and to the planet. Panelists will represent Old City Acres (Belleville), Baseline Farm (Dexter), the Community Farm of Ann Arbor, and the Green Things Farm Collective (Ann Arbor). 

This event is in partnership with the Unitarian Universalists of Ann Arbor Food Justice Team.
