Spring is here, which means summer is coming! While your gardens aren't yet ready for harvesting, we are making plans in the Extension office. How do you put up the excess produce you acquire? Do you know which method is safe and how to store your goods properly? Where do you find recipes to use?

Even if you have been canning for years and years - research has advanced over the years to show what we used to think was safe, actually was not. We now know safer processes that reduce foodborne illness and allow foods to be safely canned and shelf stable.

Join Hyde County’s Family & Consumer Sciences Extension Agent this spring & summer to learn safe and maybe even new ways to preserve the fruits and vegetables you will be harvesting.

Registration for classes is required and will need to be completed online in Eventbrite. Check back for registration links 2-3 weeks before each class. All of these classes are FREE thanks to a wonderful grant through Vidant Beaufort Hospital!
