Home Food Preservation 

USDA is your source for current research-based recommendations for most methods of home food preservation.
The National Center for Home Food Preservation was established with funding from the Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (CSREES-USDA) to address food safety concerns for those who practice and teach home food preservation and processing methods. Numerous CSU Extension publications on food preservation are available.

Master Food Safety Advisors (MFSA) are volunteer educators and resource persons, in our local community. They provide the public with research-based information on safe food preservation from Colorado State University and the United States Department of Agriculture.
MFSAs can help consumers with questions regarding:

•Food Storage and Safety
•Water Bath and Pressure Canning
•Altitude adjustments for food preparation and safety
•Freezing, Drying, Pickling
