Education Series

From seed starting to pruning, birding and native plants, we are thrilled to welcome you back to our in-person education series.

Whether you have been canning for years or are a new gardener looking to preserve your harvest - come learn all the canning basics during this free class at Piedmont Feed &amp; Garden Center!Having everything ready to preserve those delicious foods you either grow or buy during this time of the year is very important. And that includes making sure your pressure canner is working properly. The dial gauge on your pressure canner should be checked for accuracy and overall condition every year before you begin preserving foods for the season.Why Testing Your Canner’s Gauge?Regular handling, constant use, age, and storage conditions of your pressure canner can affect the accuracy of the gauge and eventually the safety of the foods you want to preserve. If your dial gauge is inaccurate your food won’t reach the proper temperature to kill microbes that can make you sick or cause death.D﻿uring this class, we will be testing the following brand dial gauges for FREE:<ul><li>Presto</li><li>Maid of Honor</li><li>National</li><li>Magic Seal</li></ul>Other brands cannot be tested since we do not have specific information on the gauges and their calibration processes. Please contact the manufacturing company for assistance with other brands not included here.Please note that there are only 40 spots available for registration. To secure your spot, we will be collecting a non-refundable $10 reservation fee. Rest assured that this amount will be returned to you in the form of a store credit once you attend the event.
