There is nothing quite like the bright, sun-ripened sweetness of homemade strawberry jam, especially when it’s crafted by hand using time-honored, small-batch traditions. Join us in The Classroom at Bellavenue Manor on Saturday, August 8th for a delightful, hands-on workshop led by expert artisan maker Beth McClure, owner of Meigs County’s boutique canning business, We Be Jammin’.
