Hello,
My name is Dawn and I work for Blooming Junction in Cornelius, OR. We are a garden center and farm with a CSA and U-pick fields. We also host classes on range of topics throughout the year. Right now we are looking for a new instructor who could teach classes on food preservation. In the past we have hosted some some very popular classes on Jam Making, Pickling, Fruit Vinegar, Infused oils & vinegars, Tomato preservation, even Sauerkraut and Sourdough classes.
I'm wondering if you have any recommendations or leads for individuals in our area who might be interested in teaching these sorts of classes.
Thank you,
Dawn

Hi Dawn,
Thanks for reaching out. We have a small number of trained Master Food Preserver volunteers active in Washington County and the surrounding area. Our volunteers are trained to teach many of the topics you mention, although they are often stretched thin based on the requests that come in! I will connect you in a separate email thread with the local coordinators who might be able to help find a volunteer instructor.
Best,
Jared
