Farm to Jar: Veggie preservation workshop.

Join us for a hands-on experience that takes you from garden to pantry in one rewarding day. This workshop combines the satisfaction of harvest with the practical skills of food preservation, ensuring you can enjoy fresh flavors year-round.

Part 1: Harvest Experience We'll begin by heading down to Live Earth Farm, where you'll harvest vegetables at peak ripeness. You'll gather a variety of seasonal produce that we'll transform together in the kitchen.

Part 2: Kitchen Preservation Moving indoors, we'll explore multiple preservation methods including water bath canning, quick pickling and lactobacillus fermentation. You'll work with the vegetables you've just harvested, learning food safety principles, proper preparation methods, and storage best practices. Each participant will take home three jars of preserved goods along with recipes and confidence to continue preserving at home.

No prior experience necessary. All materials, jars, and equipment provided.
