When I moved to urban living I wanted to be more self-reliant. We started raising our own chickens and have a small rabbitry that we spent last year establishing and feel that i am doing well in learning the ins and outs of raising some animals. Now I'd like to learn to can and preserve and make my own bread etc. I know there are books and such but I do so much better learning hands on. I have found a homestead school in the midwest and may go for a long weekend but was wondering if anyone knows of classes on canning and such that I could take local or does anyone offer classes to others
