UC Master Food Preservers of Sacramento County

Preserve today, relish tomorrow. 

Welcome! We are the UC Master Food Preservers of Sacramento County. UC Master Food Preserver volunteers are agents of the University of California and work through the county-based UC Cooperative Extension offices to educate the community about safe food preservation.

The UC Master Food Preserver Program’s mission is to keep Californians safe and well as they use culturally appropriate, research-based practices to safely preserve food in the home, reducing food waste, increasing food security, and providing engaging ways for Californians to explore healthy food.
 

Don't miss our upcoming events!

 At fun 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
