Preserving food is a valuable and nourishing tradition, especially living on island these days…:) 

  As we know, it helps to feel comforted and be well- nourished with a pantry full of home canned goods in times of stress and with the ever rising costs of food. 

  Also preserving reduces food waste by extending the life of local and seasonal produce and meats. It allows you to build for yourself a healthier and more self-reliant pantry. And it is a nourishing tradition you can pass on to your keiki and ‘ohana. It’s also fun creating your own homemade goods from scratch…they make great of the ‘aina products to sell or makana to give!
