Winter Homesteading Activities Highlighted

community · February 2025

An article describes traditional winter activities such as wool spinning, darning, and making preserves using Marion berries. The author uses a Finnish steam juicer to produce juice and jelly and plans to make Marion wine.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
