In recent years, there's been an increase in people growing their own food. Canning and dehydrating are preservation methods that allow you to enjoy those seasonal foods all year long!

In this workshop, you'll learn how to can your harvest using the water bath method as well as how to dry herbs naturally or in a dehydrator to create your own seasoning mixes and healthy snacks for you and your family. It's an ideal opportunity for beginners to learn about the techniques and equipment needed for safe home canning and dehydrating. You'll leave with dehydrated snacks and a pint of canned pickles.

Cost: $15 / $10 for active CGC volunteers
