NORWICH–With Spring finally upon us and winter dreams of ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and green beans will soon be a reality. Many of us are just excited to get our hands on fresh produce from the garden, while some are already planning ahead to preserve their harvest.

Cornell Cooperative Extension is excited to offer a series of food preservation classes throughout the year as well as a three day Master Food Preserver training.

If you are new to home food preservation you can learn the basics of food preservation safety and science, making jellies, pickling vegetables, and many other techniques for putting up the harvest. All of our classes are taught by certified Master Food Preservers.
