Students in Mrs. Corum's Foods 2 class learned the process of canning by partnering with Tabi Elder from Clean Acres Farm and Caitlin Mellendorf with the U of I Extension. Students learned the value of the Farm to Table Process and then worked through the process of canning applesauce by peeling, chopping, and straining their apples. Many new skills were learned along the way that will last with our students for a lifetime.
