In this workshop on Sat. Oct. 26 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. and led by Theresa Freund, participants will turn a variety of locally grown apples into apple butter. Beginning with the applesauce process, we will make a thick, spiced spread to use on toast, oatmeal, meats and other foods. Participants will take home 8 to 10 half-pint jars of butter.

Theresa Freund joined Freund’s Farm in East Canaan, N.Y. in 1979 as a farmhand, and married Matthew Freund in 1982. She chose marketing over milking as she grew her family to six children. In 1995, Theresa moved her business operations from the front yard farm stand to the backyard where she now fills Freund’s Farm Market, a two-story post and beam red barn, with seasonal and local products.
