I felt some pride recently when a prominent Wakulla County citizen publicly admitted that he did not fear having adequate food during our power outage because his family preserves food and had a pantry full of fruits, vegetables and meats to consume until the power came back on. I admit I would rather not eat cold vegetables but as long as the grill has propane to heat them, a full meal could be consumed from the pantry.
If you suffered during our recent power outage and now realize how it may make some sense to store some foods, be reminded that if food preservation skills are not something you possess, the UF/IFAS Wakulla County Extension Office is the place where you can turn.
I prefer to teach through small classes for interested people so that everyone has a hands-on experience to leave with confidence that they could do it themselves. I have all the equipment, written materials and space to review research-based, safe techniques for anyone desiring to learn. I am always available through an office visit or a phone call.out the year, do it correctly to insure safety and quality.
