Popular Events at the Young Family Ranch
Lots of good things have been happening in recent months at the Young Family Ranch in Weaverville and more events are being planned.
The Ranch has been the perfect venue for a series of free workshops for individuals of all ages on gardening and good nutrition. Garden topics have included bee-keeping, poultry management, plant propagation and sustainable gardening techniques. Workshops have offered hands-on demonstrations on cider-pressing, making a living willow lattice fence, making wildflower and native grass seedballs, and designing a spiral herb garden.
Healthful food workshops offered in conjunction with the garden workshops have included making pumpkin chili, great nuts and beans recipes, salsa ideas, and learning best sources of heart-healthy fats like Omega-3.
The Ranch also hosted a Fiber Faire and a Community Plant-&-Seed Exchange that were both well attended. These have all been part of the Young Family Ranch Healthful Foods and Family Gardening Workshop series, provided through a collaboration of the Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention Council, the University of California Cooperative Extension Nutrition Education Program, Young Family Ranch, Inc., and the Trinity County Resource Conservation District.
The historic Young Family Ranch is a community trust property at 260 Oregon Street. Young Family Ranch, Inc. is a non-profit entity guided by a volunteer board of trustees that works in partnership with the Trinity Trust and the Humboldt Area Foundation to ensure long-term benefit to the residents of Trinity County.
