Despite the less-than-ideal weather, Monday night's canning class was a great success!

Participants learned the process of safely pressure canning vegetables, including the importance of following proper food preservation guidelines to ensure safe, high-quality results. Everyone had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and build confidence in preserving their harvests at home.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fun and educational evening. We look forward to seeing you at future Grow, Cook, Serve classes!

On Monday evening, we hosted a Spiced Blueberry Jam canning class led by Kirsten Spears of Fox Trail Farm. As we prepared this simple and delicious recipe, the kitchen filled with the wonderful aroma of blueberries and warm spices!

One of the best parts of the evening was hearing several participants share that the recipe was so easy to follow that they feel confident making it at home. Helping community members build skills and confidence in the kitchen is exactly what these classes are all about.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and a special thank you to Kirsten for sharing her expertise and passion. We look forward to seeing what we'll learn and create together next!
