Preserving the Harvest Presentation

Chris Applegate at the Virgil Market

Please join us for "Preserving the Harvest" on Wed. August 17th, from 7:00-9:00 PM at the New York State Grange Headquarters in Cortland (just off of Clinton Avenue). In this free workshop Chris Applegate will present information on "putting food by" for the winter.  Methods to be discussed include canning, freezing, dehydrating, root cellaring, pickling and fermenting.  Chris is an organic grower and food safety educator.  She has been a professional cook restaurant owner and college dining manager.  She currently manages the Virgil Farmers Market.  For more info please contact the Cortland County Soil and Water Conservation District at 607-756-5991.

Chris is an excellent speaker and very knowledgeable.  I encourage anyone thinking about preserving food as well as those who already do to come to this session.  She'll be able to answer all kinds of questions.
