Basic Food Preserving: get all the basics in one class: Freezing, Drying, Canning, and Fermenting.  This class will provide you with an overview of basic preserving techniques, without delving too deeply into any particular one.  Great for groups that are kitchen literate but need a push in the preservation direction.  ($275)

Basic Vegetable Fermentation: learn the ins and outs of pickling with basic vegetable fermentation, not only how it differs from vinegar pickling, but also how it can be a part of a healthy diet! We’ll explore both brining and krauting techniques, as well as some special tips for creating foods with maximum quality, texture, and flavor! ($250)

Advanced Vegetable Fermentation: learn about more advanced ferments, such as kimchis, multi ingredient krauts, and using “starter” cultures.  This class is very adaptable to the particular demands of students.  ($300)

Basic Dairy Fermentation: Ever wondered what people did with their dairy before refrigeration?  This class will give you all the answers, as well as teaching you all the incredible things you can create with 1 gallon of milk.  You’ll leave knowing how to make cultured butter, cream cheese, buttermilk, and yogurt.  ($275)

Freezing & Drying Overview:  Find yourself with a yen for farm fresh strawberries in the middle of winter? Or maybe your garden is overflowing with rosemary and you don’t know what else you can do with it? This introduction to freezing and drying will teach you a few simple ways to preserve your fruits, vegetables, and herbs for the winter months. ($250)

Canning:  Both shelf stable and tasty, canning can be a great way to make delicious products that can last without being refrigerated.  This class will explore how to can fruits and high acid vegetables, as well as vinegar pickles.  We’ll also review canning safety to guarantee that our canned goods are good for consumption. ($250)

Cooking in Season:  Now that you’ve put up all your food for the winter, what are you going to do with it?  This 3 hour class will teach us how to eat from our larder, something our great grandmothers wouldn’t have had to think twice about!  Not only will you learn tips and tricks for what to do with preserved food, but we’ll also review basic plant life cycles, so you can finally go grocery shopping armed with the knowledge of what’s actually in season! ($400)
