These University of Delaware classes offer an invaluable opportunity to not only learn the practical skills of canning, but also to connect with a community focused on sustainable practices and healthy eating. Gain knowledge and confidence to preserve your own food, thereby contributing to food security and minimizing waste. This initiative aligns with our commitment to impactful education, as we strive to equip individuals with the tools needed to make informed choices about their food sources. Together, we can foster a healthier community and promote a culture of sustainability.
