Beginning August 11 our canning series kicks off with green beans

Students will be using a pressure can method and will each receive a jar of their work to take home and enjoy. Class size is limited to a small number of students and classes fill up quickly so register early. Students must either register by credit card by phone (563) 265-2455 or in person with cash, check or credit card in the store by 5pm on the Sunday prior to the class.
