UCCE Master Food Preservers of Solano and Yolo Counties

Welcome!

Preserve Today, Relish Tomorrow.

Our Mission:

"To keep Californians safe and well as they use culturally appropriate, research-based practices to safely preserve food in the home, reducing food waste, increasing food security, and providing engaging ways for Californians to explore healthy food." 

Community Outreach

We teach safe home food preservation methods in local communities through public classes and workshops, hands-on demonstrations, participation in county fairs, content contributions to websites and blogs, and in print and digital media.

Community Impact

UCCE Master Food Preservers make a difference in the community by sharing our knowledge about preserving fresh and healthy produce. We are determined to prevent botulism in home canning by promoting research-based methods of food handling and preparation.

Community Education

We share University of California, USDA and Cooperative Extension research-based practices in the safe home food preservation of our local bounty in Solano County! Just ask us: solanoyolomfp@ucanr.edu
