About the event
Get ready for the hunting season with our Venison Preservation Class. In this hands-on class, you will learn how to safely pressure can venison and make venison jerky. All participants will get to take home a pint jar of venison and some jerky. This class will be taught by Eric Bowen, Virginia Cooperative Extension Agent with 10 years experience teaching about safe wild game preservation.
*Note that offering this course early in the hunting season presents us with some challenges in securing a safe source of venison. Note that beef could be used in lieu of venison for the hands-on portion of the course.
This class is open to anyone age 16 and up.
Cost: $50
