Join us at the Cambridge Public Library as Stephanie Thurow speaks about the various methods of food preservation that are approved and safe to do from home (freezing, canning, fermenting, and dehydrating) and discuss the benefits of each as well as the supplies needed. She will also give a short demonstration to show how easy it is to make a small batch of homemade fermented sauerkraut!

Stephanie Thurow is the best selling author of Can It & Ferment It, WECK Small-Batch Preserving, WECK Home Preserving, and Small-Scale Homesteading: A Sustainable Guide to Gardening, Keeping Chickens, Maple Sugaring, Preserving the Harvest, and More. She is a certified master food preserver, food preservation instructor, organic gardener, chicken keeper and nature lover.  She specializes in creating easy to follow recipes and directions to help other homesteaders meet their goals.
