Fall Food Preservation Webinar Series

Gardeners and other lovers of fresh produce are often interested in extending the season’s bounty by preserving fruits and vegetables and meats at home.  Ohio State University Extension Family and Consumer Sciences teach the basics of home canning and preservation through a virtual series called “Food Preservation Office Hours”.  These online classes emphasize the science behind preservation so that everyone who preserves fruits, vegetables, and meats understands why certain procedures must be followed precisely to ensure a high-quality, safe product that they and their family can enjoy.

All online classes are on Tuesday afternoons from 4:00 – 5:00 PM. Topics include: October 13 – Preserving Apples; October 20 – Canning Soup; October 27 – Canning Meat, Poultry, and Game; November 3 – Making Jerky; and November 10 – Making Sauerkraut. Join OSU Extension educators for one or more of these free programs by registering at go.osu.edu/fall2020foodpreservationseries .

2021 Family Guide Now Available Online

by

The 2021 Family Guide is now available to view online here. You can also try the new online flip-book version! It’s like flipping through the physical copy, only virtually.

You can also search through projects on the Project Central website. Project Central is especially helpful in selecting projects because you can search by name, topic, or skill level. You can also view sample pages and read reviews from members, parents, and advisors who took/helped with the project. If you haven’t gone on and reviewed the projects you took this year, please do so. Your reviews can help other members make their project decisions.
