Picture your garden overflowing with plump, juicy tomatoes, shiny green peppers, and crisp green beans.  Imagine picking juicy peaches, pears, and apples from the local orchards or selecting fresh produce from baskets at the farmers' markets.

Why not save some of this bounty to enjoy all through the year?  Food preservation is the process of treating and handling food to stop or greatly slow down spoilage, loss of quality, edibility, or nutritive value caused or accelerated by micro-organisms.

Learn to preserve foods safely.  The Purdue Extention Service of LaGrange County will be conducting 'Preserving Nature's Bounty' workshops to discuss safe home food preservation procedures and to answer the frequently asked questions on canning, freezing, and drying foods.

Presented by Ann Fremion, Extenstion Educator, Purdue Extension LaGrange County.

To register for either class, please call 260-499-6334.
