"Our grandmothers will say 'Oh, I remember being in the kitchen and canning' and then it kind of skips a generation and the next generation is very interested in what used to happen in the kitchen," said Katrin Finch, Cascade County Family and Consumer Science Extension Agent. "Right now, I would say the trend is home food preservation is really gaining popularity. I think there are a lot of reasons for that. One, of course, that generational aspect ,but also more people are concerned with where their food is coming from and how it's getting to their table."
