Preserving & Canning Workshop 101

Join us for a hands-on introduction to the art of preserving food.

In this workshop, we’ll explore a variety of methods to extend the harvest—whether it’s produce from your own garden or fresh finds from the farmers market. You’ll learn the basics of canning, fermenting, drying, and other traditional techniques, taste a range of preserves, and enjoy some homemade lite bites together under the ‘loafing shed’ at Yellow Barn Farm. This class is a welcoming overview for anyone curious about bringing the flavors of the season into the months ahead.

Please bring your own jars and ingredients/produce you wish to take home!

About Your Instructors:

Joshua Greenfield is a homesteader, chef, and educator based in North Boulder. Co-creator of Brothers Green and founder of You Enjoy Life Homestead, he’s spent the past decade exploring the intersection of land-based living, food, and self-discovery. Joshua teaches cooking and fermentation through a lens of presence, simplicity, and seasonality—offering classes that are more about reconnecting to intuition than following rigid recipes.

John Clay has spent his adult life deeply immersed in all aspects of the food world—from cooking to growing to butchering. He previously served as the head whole-animal butcher at Wyebrook Farm, a regenerative farm in Pennsylvania, and has managed permaculture and organic farms in Maine. John’s deep reverence for nature and passion for teaching others how to interact with food forms the foundation of his work.
