Join in and help us preserve tomatoes for local food security! The Preservation Party will take place on October 1, 2022, from 10am to 2pm, at the Belfast Soup Kitchen, located at 31 Belmont Ave. in Belfast.

We will utilize a number of different food preservation techniques, including canning, freezing and dehydrating, to preserve this large donation of tomatoes. Participants will learn the most up-to-date methods for preservation from University of Maine, Cooperative Extension staff, and everyone will be able to take home some of what they help process. The tomatoes will have been grown by Johnny’s Selected Seeds and gleaned by Veggies For All, and they will be processed for use by organizations in Waldo County who support food security.

If you reserve a space and plans change, please let us know so that we can make room for another person to join. For more information or a reasonable accommodation, please contact Viña Lindley at vina.lindley@maine.edu or 207.342.5971.
