UC MFP Certification Training 2019

UC Master Food Preservers (MFP) are dedicated volunteers trained to provide up-to-date, research based food safety and preservation education for the public.  

Residents of Humboldt and Del Norte counties who have an interest in contributing to food safety and preservation education may apply to become a MFP; prior experience is helpful but not required.  We seek people with a strong volunteer ethic and a desire to make a long-term commitment to the program. Initial training consists of approximately 50 hours of instruction.

Upon completing all sessions and passing

a written exam, volunteers will  be certified as agents of the University of California to provide education in food safety and preservation.

Registration fee is $175 and includes training materials and supplies. For further information please contact Dorina Espinoza, MFP Advisor, at 707-445-7351 or dmespinoza@ucanr.edu.
