Fall is the time of year that many gardeners and farmers think about storing vegetables for use in the winter. This workshop will discuss the many ways in which you can store vegetables, herbs, and fruit for later use. We will touch on the basics for dehydrating, canning, pickling, freezing, and fermenting as well as other tips and tricks.

Do you have a favourite way to store a crop? Bring your recipe to share with the group.

Speaker: Lisa Conroy, Farmer Educator at Ignatius Farm

This in-person workshop is part of the Ignatius Farm New Farmer Training Program – a collaboration between Ignatius Jesuit Centre, EFAO, Everdale and the National Farmers Union – Ontario.
