Hands-on Preserving Early-Season Fruit & Vegetable Harvests NOW

June 27 | 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Iowa Western Student Center

Council Bluffs Campus Student Center Room 152 - Cost: $40
Don’t let your early harvest go to waste—learn how to preserve it at peak freshness. In this hands-on class, you’ll work directly with early-season produce to practice simple preservation techniques such as quick pickling, basic water bath canning, and refrigeration methods. We’ll focus on crops like greens, radishes, early cucumbers, and berries, showing you how to turn them into shelf-stable or ready-to-use products. You’ll leave with practical experience, preserved items to take home, and the confidence to continue preserving your harvest throughout the season.
