Home Food Preservation

You can enjoy a variety of food, either from your garden or locally grown, all through the year when you preserve foods at home. You might save money on food also.

Canning, freezing, and drying are the most common home food preservation methods. The method to use will depend on your needs and on whether safe guidelines are available for the foods you want to preserve.

The Home Food Preservation Handbook has many different resources with research-based guidelines to help you preserve foods safely at home.
