Master Food Preserver Volunteers serve to extend UMaine Extension’s education programs in food preservation to adults and youth. This program includes 10 three-hour kitchen lab sessions throughout the growing season from June – September held in Falmouth and Gorham focusing on food preservation techniques including canning, drying, freezing, fermenting and winter storage techniques. After successful completion of the program, graduates serve at least 20 hours as Master Food Preserver volunteer resources in the community to provide the public with research-based information from UMaine Extension and USDA.
