South Royalton Market

Do you learn best by doing? Want to learn more about food preservation so that you can eat local throughout the year?

If your answer is ‘yes,’ then come to a hands-on canning workshop on Tuesday, July 27 at 6:00 p.m. in the Market kitchen. You will make a jar of dilly beans (fresh green beans pickled in vinegar with fresh dill and garlic), learn how to seal the jar in a hot water bath, and take home the results. What’s more, you can apply your canning skills to other vegetables as the summer bounty continues.

The instructor is Elizabeth Ferry, Education and Community Outreach Coordinator at the Market. Elizabeth is a long-time gardener who eats home-grown food every day of the year.

The cost of the one-hour workshop is $10 and includes all materials. Pre-registration and pre-payment are required. Come in to the store to sign up!
