Palmer workshop to discuss home freeze-drying

Palmer workshop to discuss home freeze-drying

In the last few years, home freeze-dryers have been gaining popularity as a food preservation tool.

In a free class hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service, Professor Emeritus Leif Albertson will look at freeze-dryer safety, value and practical applications. He'll also review how this technology compares to other traditional food preservation methods.

The class is from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 1, at the UAF Matanuska Experiment Farm and Extension Center, 1509 S. Georgeson Drive, Palmer.
