MSU Extension offers Preserving Your Harvest online classes

    As gardens are growing, thoughts turn to the ripening overflow of shiny, red tomatoes, bright green peppers and other delicious home-grown goodies along with farmers markets filled with fresh produce. Why not save some of this bounty to enjoy all through the year? Food preservation is a science, and we must properly preserve food or dangerous bacteria can cause foodborne illness.

    Join us online to learn safe home preserving techniques and valuable resources to ensure the safety of your home preserved food. Preserving your Harvest classes will be held every Thursday from August 13 through October 29 at 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. EDT.  No matter what your home food preservation experience is whether beginner or seasoned, these FREE classes will allow you to learn the most current recommendations for safe home preserving and to ask any questions you may have.  Join us for all sessions or choose the topics that interest you.
