Preservation School is the passion of Amanda Olsen, who has been practicing home food preservation for over a decade. Community, local food and the DIY spirit are at the heart of what Preservation School is all about. Learn a new skill, enjoy a great class or party with your friends and take home something delicious to eat, all while supporting a local business in our community.

Classes are scheduled to go live in Summer 2016, but we’ve got a few start up costs to get situated first, the most important of which is incorporating. If you’re excited about a new kind of cooking school coming to McHenry County, IL please show your support and donate to our GoFundMe campaign. The sooner we meet our $1,000 goal (we’re 24% there!) the sooner we can schedule our first class sessions.
