Join our NEST friends Rebecca Crichton and Kathryn Almy for a community-centered gathering all about preserving the bounty of the season. Together, we’ll explore favorite recipes and practical waysto can, freeze, and dehydrate fruits and vegetables so the vibrant flavors of summer and autumn can be enjoyed long after the harvest has passed. These methods not only help you stock your pantry with wholesome, homemade preserves, but also offer meaningful ways to create special gifts for the holidays.

Let’s share traditions, ideas, and inspirations with one another. Everyone brings their own stories of the kitchen—whether it’s a favorite jam passed down through generations, a new technique you’ve just
discovered, or the joy of turning fresh apples or tomatoes into something to be savored later. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned home cook, come for the knowledge, stay for the camaraderie, and leave with both new skills and a deeper sense of community. Bring your favorite preservation ideas—or simply your appetite for
learning—and join us in honoring the flavors and friendships that grow out of this season.
