Stacey Can Can

canning has been part of my life since before i was born. most of the food my grandmother had in her kitchen pantry she had canned from her own garden. my family also hunted and fished so the chest "deep freeze" was full of processed meats as well. this is a passion of mine that i love to share to create better-eating habits, shopping/growing locally, and knowing what is in our foods to make healthier communities. i was an hr manager for 6 years and understand the importance of a safe and healthful workplace. counseling employees and giving them creative outlets to improve their health and wellbeing make a good employee great. even though i grew up learning the skills of safe food preservation i am also a master food preserver through oregon state university's extension office. this certification has trained me to provide up-to-date food safety and preservation information to my community and beyond.
