Interactive In-Person Demo

Raspberry Showcase

with Solveig Tofte & Leslie Mackie
sponsored by


The Washington Red Raspberry Commission

and

King Arthur Baking Company


The cool, marine climate of the Pacific Northwest creates the ideal environment for growing red raspberries that will be frozen within hours of being harvested and transformed into versatile formats. Come join us for a very special showcase, made possible through the support of the Washington Red Raspberry Commission and King Arthur Baking Company on July 13-14, 2022.

The first day of the session includes a tour of a working raspberry farm and processing facility in the nation’s raspberry capital Lynden, Washington, where you will not only get to talk to raspberry farmers, tour raspberry fields, taste raspberry varieties in test plots and see an operating processing plant, but Dr. Lisa Jones will conduct a special session on fermentation.

The second day will be a hands-on training with Solveig Tofte and Leslie Mackie at the King Arthur Baking School Washington in Burlington, Washington. From flaky buckwheat and raspberry pastries to nectarine and raspberry lattice pies, you’ll explore new ideas and old favorites. The day will also include a lunch with The Bread Lab, as Dr. Stephen Jones discusses wheat breeding and revitalizing the local grain economy.
