Food Storage and Preservation
Food Storage and Preservation
It's YOUR responsibility to take care of yourself and your family. These skills allow you to preserve high quality food (and food you have grown in your garden). Food storage can also save you some money (when you buy in bulk). Most important of all, food storage WILL help you to feed your loved ones in a crisis.
So how do you begin? Storing food properly can be a challenge, and making mistakes in food storage can be an expensive waste of food!
We'll walk you through all of the details and help you build a personal plan. We'll even show you how to preserve your own food. In this class, you'll gain the skills to:
Package ordinary staple foods to last for more than 30 years
How to eat well on less than $3 per day
Use water bath canning to save acidic foods
Dehydrate fruits and vegetables, with and without power
Make delicious jerky
Build your own personal food security plan, an edible insurance policy!
