Spring is just around the corner, and with spring comes an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables! 

Have you ever wanted to learn how to preserve your abundance? Just interested in food preservation as a hobby? Either way, we’ve got you covered. 

Starting in April, N.C. Cooperative Extension will have a variety of home food preservation classes available to you. 

A team of family and consumer science agents from our region have teamed up to offer a series of free online home food preservation classes covering the following topics: Introduction to Canning, Water Bath Canning, Pressure Canning, Freezing, Sweet Spreads, and Fermentation. See details below. 

In the time frames between these online classes, Family and Consumer Science agents Tara Gregory (Chatham County) and Elisa Phillips (Alamance County) will be offering hands-on workshops, for beginners, in both Alamance and Chatham counties that correspond to the online classes. We encourage you to attend the corresponding online class if you plan to attend an in-person workshop. 

To register for any of the in-person workshops, please contact  Tara Gregory (tara_gregory@ncsu.edu or 919-542-8247) or Elisa Phillips (elisa_phillips@ncsu.edu or 336-570-6740).
