It was during the recession of the 1970’s that Molly Wells first started canning. She finds it really fun and a money saver in the long run. She’s tried to teach people how to preserve food through canning, drying and freezing … but until recently, there hasn’t been a lot of interest.
Then, Molly Wells hit a proverbial perfect storm. Not only is Portland in the throes of a recession, but it’s also an area of the world where people tend to be conscious of eating more natural, healthy foods.
Last month, she finally put out a test note to see if anyone would sign up for canning classes.
By the tone of this post, you can guess how successful her first push was. So many people signed up for the first batch of classes she’s had to add more in July for the overflow and is offering another round in August. Considering how green-friendly Portland is, she may wind up offering the classes year round.
