About: Join food safety and food preservation experts from the University of Minnesota Extension throughout the year in this monthly series to learn how to safely handle and prepare food. Whether you are a farmer/grower interested in pursuing value-added food production, operate a food business, or preserve foods for your own use, these monthly educational webinars are for you. In this series, you will learn about bacteria that can cause foodborne illness, and how to improve food handling practices in your food business or at home so you can prepare safe food. Then, apply these safe food handling practices to food preservation methods. Each month learn a new skill or sharpen your existing food preservation knowledge.

Note: These courses are not regulatory, nor do they provide any sort of certification for selling preserved products, but instead are focused on personal consumption. They do, however, open the door to those pathways, if people become interested in cottage food producer license.
