Food Preservation Workshop
There is nothing more satisfying than looking at a shelf full of jars you filled yourself, but the fear of "doing it wrong" can be a major hurdle. Skip the guesswork and join me at Everything Homemade for a Private One-on-One Training Session. Whether you are staring at a mountain of tomatoes or a basket of berries, I’ll give you the hands-on confidence to safely preserve your harvest using methods that have stood the test of time.
​
In this 3-hour hands-on experience, we’ll work in the farm kitchen to process seasonal produce. You’ll learn the "Everything Homemade" rhythm of sterilization, processing, and long-term storage.
