At Cherry City Honey, we're bringing old-fashioned skills, practical know-how, and a little creativity together for The Homemade Pantry Workshop Series—a year of hands-on classes designed to help you make useful things at home.

Inspired by the philosophy behind The Homemade Pantry: 101 Foods You Can Stop Buying and Start Making, our workshops focus on everyday staples, pantry skills, food preservation, homemade body care, seasonal ingredients, and simple projects you can actually use.

And we're making it even more fun with our Homemade Pantry Workshop Passport!

🌱 More Than a Workshop

The Homemade Pantry Series is about more than learning a recipe.

It's about rediscovering the satisfaction of making something yourself.

It's knowing what's in the products you're making.

It's learning skills you can pass along to your children and grandchildren.

It's using what grows around you.

It's preserving seasonal abundance.

It's stocking your pantry with things you've made with your own hands.

And maybe most importantly, it's having fun while doing it!
