I’m available for private group canning classes, as mentioned in this Daily Candy article. For $350, I will come to your house with all the supplies needed for a batch of seasonal and local jam or pickles. Invite your friends (groups of no more than six or seven people, please) over and learn how to preserve your own food! I also do larger classes and public demos, fees for those services vary. If any of these options interests you, shoot me an email at foodinjars@gmail.com.
