Autumn was a season of hard work for early Americans. Neighbors joined together to help each other during harvest time. Numerous hands were needed to butcher, preserve, and prepare many foods. School was canceled for days so children could help their parents with the harvest chores. The fruits of spring and summer labor were enjoyed during this season, which was also a time of feasting and recreation.
Judith Krall-Russo will tell us how our forefathers prepared for the long winter ahead while celebrating the harvest season. Judith Krall–Russo has enjoyed a lifelong love of foods, especially embracing the rich agriculture of her home state – New Jersey. She is a self-taught cook, supplementing her passion with classes in nutrition, ethnic and Early American cooking.
