MEDIA RELEASE__Winter is coming, the garden is in full swing and the Schumachers have 16 people to feed through an Ohio winter. Most days from now on will be spent “putting food by” to survive the dark months.

Drying, smoking, pickling, brining and even some “primitive” canning will be demonstrated at the Swiss Community Historical Society’s August Second Saturday. On August 8 from 1:00-4:00 p.m., docents and volunteers will be asking you to help get ready for winter.
