Fall Food Preservation Workshop
Hello my name is Leih, I would like to offer a variety of food preservation workshops in the fall and I am looking for community input about what classes might be of interest. Details are still in the planning stages and open to suggestion. Dates and times are not available yet & pricing will depend on workshop type but are estimated to cost in a range of $85-$125
Each workshop will include an introduction to each featured preservation skill (waterbath canning, pressure canning, dehydrating, pantry basics, fermenting, emergency preparedness) information package, hands on experience in a group atmosphere, lunch and snacks, and a selection of goodies to take home!
Due to the amount of instruction, prep and canning times please be prepared for these workshops to be a full day event (most likely about 4-6 hours)
The experience would include a seasonal lunch such as a charcuterie spread, soup or casserole, snacks and beverages, information package including recipes, class instruction and canning tips and each participant will receive a portion of the days preservation (2-4 jars of each preserved item made in class)
During processing and cool down times classes will include a bonus lesson on fun subjects such as bread making, easy just add water mixes, homemade & infused butters and mayonnaise, each project designed and coordinating with the days class theme & ingredients.
More skills and goodies to take home!
The following are some ideas in the planning stages: please comment or private message which workshop(s) you would be interested in joining and any thought or suggestions. I would be looking for 3-4 participants per workshop before I can schedule kitchen space.
I am looking forward to hearing from you! Thank you for your input and interest!!
