Join me for some Permaculture Preserving!!

The preserves won't be decided upon until very close to the date - depending on what is abundant and in need of preserving, so it'll be a bit of Pot Luck. Join me for several sessions if you like to see a wide variety. However, I will run you through 3-4 of the following methods: pressure canning, fermenting, water bathing, hot pack, and dehydrating. If you are particularly interested in a certain method please let me know and I can try to work that into the day.

Places each day are limited. This is my home kitchen so to make the experience rich and rewarding for all I don't want to overfill it. The cost of the day is $50 payable before your place is confirmed. This is considerably lower in price than similar sessions offered elsewhere. The real payment for the day comes in the form of your help! This is the best way to learn. You'll be asked to wash, chop, sterilise, stir, and bottle!

Please bring comfortable closed shoes and some lunch. Tea and coffee will be provided (raw cows milk only - bring yours if you need something different). It's also a good idea to bring a notepad and pen however I ask that personal items are kept off the bench for hygiene reasons. It's a good idea to bring an apron, which you can wear on the day if you like but it also doubles as a way to get a hot jar home with you when we finish up.

Please note that you'll receive no formal qualifications. Ultimately you will be responsible for what happens in your own kitchen moving forward. I will explain safe food handling and preserving methods, however.

All ticket purchases are final and cancellations won't be refunded. Your booking of a spot prevents someone else from booking that place, and it's very difficult for me to find a replacement attendee once the buzz of freshly released dates has settled down. If the workshop is unable to proceed on the scheduled date for reasons beyond our control, it will be rescheduled to a later date and if you are unable to attend that date a refund will be issued.
