"Today, June 27, my three children and I picked nearly fifty pounds of

just click on the preceding link, as appropriate! And if you have a farm and want to
add it or correct the

to confirm hours, conditions and availability of the specific crops you want!!

Home Canning Kits
This is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother
used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and
spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and
lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs,
lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel,
labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book. It's
much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll never need anything else except jars & lids! To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here!For more information
