UC Master Food Preserver volunteers are agents of the University of California and work through the UC Cooperative Extension to educate the community on the safe practices of home food preservation, including pickling, canning, dehydrating and much more. We are teaching through remote methods currently.
We are very excited about the new Master Food Preserver program in Sonoma County. Due to COVID-19 safety protocols, we are available by phone and email. We will be offering virtual educational opportunities in the near future.
Please check our website often for updates to outreach activities, in addition to lots of great information about food safety and preservation!
