Who We Are and What We Do

UCCE Master Food Preserver volunteers are agents of the University of California and work through the UC Cooperative Extension to educate the community on the safe practices of food preservation.

At fun, often free classes, we teach you step-by-step methods to preserve food at home:

Boiling Water, Steam and Pressure Canning
Dehydrating and Freezing
Pickling and Fermenting

See our calendar and the statewide calendar on the right for dates and details.
