One of the oldest, simplest ways of preserving food is to dehydrate it. It allows you to catch and store nutrition while it’s in abundance for use in leaner times, and it can be achieved in a wide range of low-tech ways for very little money.

This free face-to-face workshop presentation will take you through some of the simplest and most effective ways to dehydrate different types of foods. This is a fabulous session for people wanting to fight food waste or get into ‘homesteading’ or permaculture living. This workshop includes taste-testers of differently dehydrated foods, a display of useful books and resources, and you’ll have a chance to make a special blend of dehydrated food to take home.

Join permaculture and sustainability educator, Anna The Urban Nanna, in this workshop presentation where you’ll learn the ins and outs of dehydrating, and have a go at making a waste-savvy dehydrated seasoning blend to take home.
