I’m excited to partner with Jam Jar Kitchen to host a hands-on sourdough beginner class benefiting Preserve International. The mission of Preserve International is to eliminate food waste by providing innovative, rural-minded food preservation technology and training, allowing farmers to preserve the life of their crops from post-harvest through the lean season. Staying away from added chemicals and preservatives, they utilize food dehydration,  water-bath canning, and improved grain storage techniques to preserve the life of produce from days to months, and even years. Acknowledging the often disproportionate effects of poverty and hunger on women, as well as the seemingly insurmountable odds faced by female farmers throughout the developing world, we seek to empower women in the agricultural sector not only through food preservation, but by providing job and educational opportunities as well as facilitating grassroots support networks to help women thrive. 

Join us on Thursday, May 8, at 6:30 p.m. at my home in Southwest Fort Worth (address will be provided after you have paid your registration).  Register here.
