Everyone, it seems, is interested in living local.  And for more and more Oregonians, that means growing more of their own food and preserving it for winter dining.  It doesn’t get more local than that.   I am seeing classes all over town lately on this topic – my grandmother would be so excited about this trend!

In this vein, we are offering a new class on this very topic.  Chef Dan Brophy from the Oregon Culinary Institute will be here to talk about the many ways of putting food by — canning, drying, infusions, root cellaring.  Since most people are just a little intimidated by canning, he will spend the most time there, walking us through the actual canning process from start to finish.   We love having Chef Dan here – he is terrific about explaining the how’s and why’s; I am confident you will go away knowing what you need to know.  And once you know the basics, you will be free to get creative with your harvest!
