Event Details

As we celebrate Hungry for History in Winchester and Frederick County, please join us to learn to safely preserve food at home with Amanda Johnson. The workshop includes information about canning, freezing, and drying. 

Amanda Johnson, Food, Nutrition, and Health Extension Agent, proudly serves Frederick, Clarke, Shenandoah, Page, and Warren Counties. With 15 years of experience at West Virginia University Extension, Amanda is a seasoned educator who excels in hands-on learning and has worked extensively with volunteers to deliver impactful programs. Dedicated to serving the community, she is focused on understanding local needs through focus groups and data analysis to develop meaningful, priority programs. 

Hungry for History explores our area’s history, but also celebrates something that EVERYONE loves – food! Museums and historic sites in our community will offer a variety of programs and special events such as presentations, cooking demonstrations, children’s activities, food tastings, special handouts and giveaways, historic recipes, agriculture related programs and more.
