Mesquite Harvesting Class Thursday, July 19 and Saturday, August 4

Those interesting looking pods hanging from mesquite trees yield a bean that is very high in protein, carbohydrates, fiber and minerals.

 Learn how to harvest, dry and store mesquite pods & find out where to get them ground into sweet nutritious flour at a free class at the farmers market. Mark your calendars for the “Eat Mesquite” class, which will be held at the Sierra Vista Farmers Market on Thursday, July 19 and Saturday, August 4. More info will be available as the dates get closer.
