Getting ready for canning season? Bring your pressure canner in and get it checked before you fire it up.

Can’t make it during the event window? No problem. Lids can be dropped off ahead of time and left with our team for inspection.

While you’re here, check out our full selection of canning supplies including jars, lids, accessories, and seasonal essentials to help you get started or restocked for the year ahead.
