Experience a hands-on, intimate workshop where you’ll learn the art of water-bath canning and the timeless tradition of preserving seasonal flavors. Under the expert guidance of a seasoned instructor, you’ll master the steps of safely canning jams, jellies, and pickled delights, all while savoring the process of turning fresh, locally sourced ingredients into jars of homemade goodness.

Set in your warm and welcoming environment, this workshop combines the science of preservation with the joy of creating something truly personal. As you carefully prepare your jars and process your preserves, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to capture the essence of each season and enjoy it long after the harvest has passed.

No canning session would be complete without a tasting. After the jars are sealed, we’ll sample some preserves along with a charcuterie board inspired by your creations, offering the perfect opportunity to enjoy the fruits of your labor while surrounded by your favorite people.  Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply gathering to create something beautiful together, this experience is designed to bring people closer over the joy of making, sharing, and savoring homemade goodness.

Whether you're new to canning or looking to refine your skills, this experience offers a chance to connect with others over the shared love of good food and thoughtful preservation. Gather your group and preserve the flavors of the season in a meaningful and delicious way.

These aren’t casual cooking classes—they are beautifully curated, in-home experiences crafted with intention. Every workshop is thoughtfully styled—simple, natural, and rooted in a slow-living aesthetic.
