Food Preservation & Canning
Canning, drying, fermenting, and cold storage, taught to tested USDA safety standards — nothing in it is guessed at.
Food Preservation & Canning is taught in grade 9 through grade 12. Each year below is a complete course in its own right, with its own units, its own quizzes, and its own downloads.
This is a self-paced elective. It sits outside the daily schedule, so a family can take it over a summer, stretch it across a year, or skip it without unsettling anything else.
