Discord Pickling & Preserving Community Application

Join the Pickling & Preserving Discord Community

Welcome to the ultimate online hub for home preservation enthusiasts! Our Discord community brings together passionate picklers, canners, and fermenters from around the world who share a love for preserving seasonal harvests and creating delicious, shelf-stable foods.

Why Join Our Community?

Whether you're just starting your fermentation journey or you're a seasoned canner with years of experience, our community offers a welcoming space to learn, share, and grow your preservation skills. Members gain access to:

• Live workshops and Q&A sessions with preservation experts
• Seasonal planning guides to help you make the most of harvest time
• Troubleshooting channels for when your ferments aren't bubbling or your pickles aren't crunchy
• Recipe exchanges featuring everything from classic dill pickles to experimental kimchi variations
• Equipment recommendations and troubleshooting from people who've tried it all
• Safety-first discussions about proper canning techniques and food preservation best practices

What Makes Our Community Special

Unlike general cooking communities, we're laser-focused on the art and science of preservation. Our members are genuinely passionate about lacto-fermentation, water bath canning, pressure canning, and all the delicious ways to extend the life of seasonal produce. You'll find active daily discussions, supportive feedback on your projects, and inspiration for your next batch.
