Preserving foods has been a way of life in the rural parts of Michigan for a very long time. It's not uncommon to this day to find someone who cans their own food or uses a freezer to the best of its abilities.
Oryana Natural Foods Market recognizes that while there are plenty of people who practice these kinds of preservation, there are many out there who would like to but just don't know how. That's why Oryana has decided to offer up food preservation classes in July.
The classes are two hours each and are $10 apiece or $20 for all three of them. The class sizes are limited, so registration is highly suggested by calling Sandi at 947-0191.
The classes, which will be held at the Michigan State University Extension Services Office at 520 West Front Street, Suite A in Traverse City, will be Canning High Acid Foods Using a Water-Bath Canner (July 17, 6-8 p.m.), Canning Low Acid Foods Using a Pressure Canner (July 24, 6-8 p.m.) and Freezing and Drying Foods (July 31, 6-8 p.m.).
