Classes, Demos & Talks
I also offer a class called Fundamentals of Home Food Preservation, which is a series of four, three-hour classes, covering five of the primary home food preservation methods you’ll want to know to get started preserving food at home. We cover canning, freezing, drying, fermenting, and cold-storage (root cellaring), and each week we focus on a different method (or two), discussing proper procedures, techniques, food safety, and use of tools and equipment. We practice the method(s) hands-on, preparing and preserving food as a group, and enjoying some samples as well. If you really want to dive in, become comfortable with multiple preservation methods, and learn a lot in a short time, this is the class for you!
