The Master Food Preserver program is a public service community outreach program providing up to date information on food safety and preservation. A Master Food Preserver is a volunteer who is formally educated in food preservation and food safety and is certified by a university cooperative ex tension. Volunteers are qualified to teach food preservation and food safety in addition to disseminating that information via lectures, talks and other county events.
New Certification Classes Begin September 2022. A Master Food Preserver certification class for Orange County residents is scheduled to begin on Tuesday September 6, 2022. We will have class every Tuesday from 10am-2pm for 10 weeks. Most classes are scheduled to be in person at the South Coast Research & Extension Center (SCREC) in Irvine. One class is planned to be at Centennial Farm at the OC Fairgrounds.
The training is restricted to residents of Orange County. We hope to be able to provide one or more scholarships this year to offset the fees required for the books and materials needed for the training.
All interested applicants are required to REGISTER and ATTEND an Information Day presentation either in person, on a ZOOM presentation or watching the recorded ZOOM presentation later in order to be able to apply for this class. This is mandatory. No exceptions.
