||| FROM ORCAS ISLAND GARDEN CLUB |||
Please join the Orcas Island Garden Club on Wednesday, December 13, 2023 when we welcome Jennie Bryan-Goforth from WSU San Juan County Extension. Jennie will be presenting remotely from Skagit county.
We will learn about a variety of safe methods available for preserving and storing our harvest. Food preservation is an important strategy to increase food access, reduce food waste in your household, and utilize local food systems. This presentation will introduce methods such as canning, pickling, fermentation, dehydration, freezing, and microclimate storage.
