Online Food Storage Class

Hello All,
If you are interested in following along with an online food storage class, here's the link:
http://sharonastyk.com/

The first post for the food storage class was posted on July 8 and was titled Food Preservation - Class 2 - Welcome!. There should be a couple of posts on each Tuesday and Thursday throughout July. You can just scroll down to find the right entries.

You'll see in the outline the topics to be covered. There's some more unusual techniques like salting, lactofermentation and dehydrating in addition to canning (water bath and pressure). So even if you know a bit, there might be something new for you. Oh yeah, it's also free and you can read at your leisure (in your underwear at midnight if you so desire).

Some of you may already know Sharon Astyk's writings. If you don't, be forewarned she is an outspoken peaknik but also a fantastic farmer and food storage expert.

I participated in the first food storage class in the spring (posts can be found in the archive) and am a member of her yahoogroup (sharonfoodstorage@yahoogroups.com). It tends to be a very lively (and varied) discussion. In August there will be an Adapting in Place class as well.


So enjoy or delete!
Vicky
