Apple Processing Workshop

The Fannin County School System Young Farmer Association held an apple processing workshop on August 22 at the Blue Ridge Cannery. The class started at 5:30pm and 15 were in attendance. The class processed apples, which were donated by Payne’s Apple Orchard, into applesauce. Each participant got to take home 2 cans of applesauce and a can of apple juice. The class was hands on and the participants were instructed on the entire process. Instruction on home canning was also addressed. Barbara Davenport and Rhonda Mathews taught the class.
