Whaaat? It’s so true! A few years ago, Trinity Lutheran Church decided to offer a class on food preservation to help the people who were learning about gardening from the Trinity Community Garden. We wanted them to know what to do with the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables available each summer from the farmer’s markets, food banks, or their own home gardens. Not only do we teach them how to do it, but we teach them how to do it safely, in accordance with the latest research. We have three certified Master Food Safety Advisors in our congregation. We are sponsored, trained, and certified by University of Idaho Extension Office Educators. We are currently under the Owyhee County Extension Office. We have high hopes to present a workshop on September 10, 2022, here at Trinity. We missed two years due to Covid and feel very optimistic about this year. We will have flyers available soon for anyone interested in taking the classes. It’s a one-day workshop from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. We will be canning with the boiling water method and the pressure canning method. We also need a few people to help us out with setting up for the workshop and helping to prepare, serve, and clean up the lunch we will be offering. If you are interested in in any of these things or just have some questions you can contact Tami Robinson, Judy Kellar, or Lloyd Kellar. Tami’s number is 208-681-1480.
