Texas A&M AgriLife Extension - Jefferson County

Fresh green beans are in season, gardens are producing, and now is the perfect time to learn how to preserve the harvest!

We invite you to join us for Preserve the Harvest: Pickled Green Bean Workshop on Thursday, July 9, from 6:00–8:00 p.m. in the AgriLife Extension Auditorium.

Summer is one of the best times to preserve green beans. Whether you're harvesting from your own garden, visiting a local farmers market, or simply looking to learn a new skill, this hands-on workshop will teach you how to safely make delicious pickled green beans that can be enjoyed long after the growing season ends.

Participants will learn food safety principles, brine preparation, jar packing, and water bath canning techniques using a research-tested recipe.
