This is a very hands on workshop where you will learn everything you need to know to can your own food. Two methods of canning will be covered, using a pressure cooker and the hot water bath method. We will can either tomatoes or peaches, depending on what is ripest. We are excited to hold this workshop in the beautiful kitchen facility at The Wellness Center, 3797 Northside Drive on Sun.

The City Market on the Green continues to offer locally grown vegetables, with a wide assortment of peppers (hot & Sweet), cucumbers, peaches, tomatoes and more available. Kim has been bringing fresh squeezed juices using watermelon & organic grapes, both outrageously delicious. The variety and quality of crafts is not found any place else in the Macon area. Market hours are Sat. 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm., Poplar Street and MLK Blvd, rain or shine.
