2nd Canning Class

Monday 24th,Our canning class met at the Wishram Community Church.We cannned Carrots and Green beans.
Our next canning class is set for 8-31 @ 2pm.Come to learn how or if you already know how come anyways.
Canning has changed over the years from when our grandma's,mother's and aunt's were canning our foods that were harvested from the fields.
I thought I knew the canning bussiness just because of what I learned while growing up on the farm.
We have others in the class that has been canning for many years that are learning the new techniques to canning the right way.
Canning classes are opened to the community,meeting place is at Wishram Community Church.
Watch for new dates.
