Preserving Project

Each summer and fall, some produce in the community gardens is harvested for the Preserving Project. Interested gardeners and/or community members gather to can and preserve the produce. Some of the preserved goods are taken home by group members for their own family's consumption. Most of the preserves are sold at craft and bake sales in November and December, with profits shared among the group's members.

The Project aims at increasing food security for participants, teaching safe food handling and preserving techniques, and developing some economic possibilities and potentials. To participate in the Preserving Project, or to purchase preserves from the Project, please call 774-3957.
