Preserving the Harvest:
Fermenting, Freezing/Refrigerating, Drying, Canning, Root Cellaring, Smoking, Salting, Vacuum Sealing, and Storing in Vinegar or Alcohol
with Ben Harman and Nancy Harman
Join experienced homesteaders, nutritionists, and food scientists in a fun hands-on exploration of the many traditional and modern ways to preserve food and extend its usefulness.
Preserving food is important for making larger harvests available for the long term. It also is a way to save money, build resilience and self sufficiency, increase options, handle challenging times, increase nutritional value, and add flavors and textures to the foods you preserve.
Learn methods people have used for thousands of years and why preserving food is still an essential skill in the 21st Century.
Lunch is provided by Deep River Folk School from noon - 1p.
