Backyard Pepper Smoking 101

This event is hosted in partnership with Deep Routes an East NY Farms!

Join farmers Maya and Alexx, alongside the NYRP Urban Ag team, for an afternoon of intro to chili pepper smoking & spice making. During our time together we’ll connect with chili peppers, walk through setting up a smoker, smoking materials, and tips for success with storing your precious peppers. Participants will get to make and take home their own custom chili flake blend or chili salt.

This is the fourth and final session in this year’s The Soul of Food sequence, a hands-on Deep Routes workshop series honoring the foodways that connect plants, peoples, and lands across Afro-Indigenous diasporas.

NOTE: Registration is required for this workshop. ATTENDANCE WILL BE CAPPED AT 25 PEOPLE, after which anyone else who registers will automatically be added to a waitlist.
