I’m so excited to tell everyone that I will be working with April Cunningham from North Coast Opportunities to put on a series of canning and cooking classes this year. The classes will be offered at the Willits Grange Kitchen and the Ukiah Senior Center Kitchen (both of which are really nice commercial kitchens). We’re working on adding some dates at the Redwood Valley Grange as well. Workshops will focus on cooking and preserving seasonal produce from local farms. I’ll show you how to make jam and pickles but we’ll do some fresh cooking too. After each class, participants will go home with a bag full of goodies that we’ve made that day. At just $20, the classes are a ridiculously good deal! There’s no commitment to attend the whole series- feel free to sign up for one class and then sign up for the rest once you see how much fun they’re going to be and how delicious everything we make turns out. 
Space is limited, so contact April Cunningham to reserve a space: acunningham@ncoinc.org, or 707-467-3212. If you’re interested in attending but the dates don’t work for you, e-mail April to stay in touch about future workshops.

If you ever decide to do on-line classes, be sure to let us know! Never as good as on-site learning, but L.A. to Mendocino might be a little ambitious for me. 🙂
