Our new Soil City website is now live – check it out for some of our programme highlights during Glasgow Internationa! Just a month to go until the Soil City Lab opens its doors on 8 April, at 3 Osborne Street, Glasgow G1 5QN. We’re excited.
Back in September when the sun was shining, Open Jar spent a few days cooking with the lovely growers and local families at the Concrete Garden and Back Garden in Possil Park. We were exploring what you can make with different types of flour, learning from different cultural traditions. Using the freshest seasonal produce from the garden we made steamed Chinese dumplings, pasta with nasturtium pesto, empanadas baked in the wood oven, not to mention bannocks and corn on the cob cooked on a fire at the Harvest Celebration. It was all pretty delicious and we’re really excited about starting our weekly Global Canteen Cookery Group that will be running on Fridays from 23rd October.
Global Canteen Cookery Group
Fridays, 23 October – 11 December, 12.30-2.30pm at The Concrete Garden
Each week we will harvest fresh produce from the garden, share recipes, learn new cooking skills and enjoy a tasty lunch together.

Open Jar Collective hosts an evening of talks, tasting, and discussion, exploring where our milk comes from and the role that micro-dairies could play in building a more sustainable food system. There will be practical demos on how to make your own fresh cheese, butter and oat milk, a chance to hear from a local dairy farmer, and time to have a chat over a bowl of soup. This free event is supported by the Glasgow Local Food Network.
Friday 29th May 5 – 8pm at the Kinning Park Complex
