Help support the Dakota Reconciliation Riders and Runners by helping Living Earth Center make fresh apple cider!

Join us for an evening of fun, learning, connection, and supporting our Dakota neighbors. Participants will take home canning resources and a jar of cider.

Participate in a hands-on workshop where Living Earth Center will teach you how to process and can fresh apple cider so you can gain the skills to start canning in your own kitchen, while also learning about the history and meaning behind the reconciliation efforts that take place annually on December 26th. All the cider made will be donated to feed Dakota riders and runners after their arduous winter journey as they participate in an intentional ceremony of reconciliation.

Space is limited - sign up today via link below

This event is supported through a partnership with Welsh Heritage Farms, who have graciously donated 300 lbs of apples, Centenary Church/Holy Grounds, Living Earth Center, St. Peter Good Neighbor Diversity Council, and the Mahkato Welcoming Committee.

Please Note:
