Pepper Smoking 101: Part 2

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

Join farmers Maya (Deep Routes) and Alexx (East NY Farms), alongside the NYRP Urban Ag team, for a 2-day intensive on chili pepper cultivation, smoking, and storage preparation. During our time together we’ll connect with a variety of chili peppers, walk through setting up a smoker and how to turn a grill into a smoker, go over smoking materials, and discuss tips for success with storing your precious peppers.

During Part 2, we’ll reconvene back at the farm — following the previous evening’s pepper harvest — to get into the pepper smoking process from start to finish with the harvested peppers. Participants will get a detailed walkthrough of how to smoke peppers, learn about safe processing and storage of their smoked chilis, and get to make their own chili flakes to take home.

You will receive an email confirming your spot soon after completing the form. After reaching the workshop capacity (25), all interested individuals will be added to a waitlist.
