Extend your garden harvest year-round through preservation!
Take a look at our newly-released Preservation Series, a collection of 5 unique 2-hour workshops geared towards supporting your culinary journey this fall. From diving into canning to exploring ways to reduce your kitchen waste, this series offers an all-encompassing approach to preservation techniques. Participants get to learn by practicing and making their own dishes, trying out recipes, and taking home educational materials to try for themselves.
Workshops are pay-what-you-can with a $20 minimum (to over material costs), and a suggested booking price of $50 per workshop is recommended.
To sign up for one (or all five) of the workshops, register here!
