You have seen us at the County Fair! You may have even attended one of our FREE Food Preserving classes. UCCE 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 food preservation, including pickling, sausages, preserves and much more. We are still teaching through remote methods:

• Facebook: We post frequently about food preservation, safety, reducing food waste, and more
• Helplines: Ask your questions through a voice-mail message, email, or posted on Facebook.
  • El Dorado County
