A visitor writes on September 06, 2008: " I phoned
Billy Boy's twice to make sure they still had U-Pick berries this late in
the season. They assured me they had plenty. I drove almost 100 miles today
to get there, and asked to be directed to the best place for picking. I was
told the bushes in a particular section were loaded. Well, they were
anything but that. What berries remained were extremely small and had little
flavor. It took me 50 minutes to pick 1 1/2 pounds. So this was an expensive
trip with little to show for it. I think Billy Boy's (and any other farms)
should be honest with people who phone in, and tell them there isn't
anything left worth picking. I won't go to Billy Boy's again, and I would
advise you to drop them from the list of farms you advertise."

Home Canning KitsFeatures:
* All the tools you need for hot waterbath canning - in one comprehensive set!
* Complete with 21 1/2 qt. enameled waterbath canner and "Ball Blue Book" of canning.
* Also includes canning rack, funnel, jar lifter, jar wrencher, bubble freer, tongs and lid lifter.
* A Kitchen Krafts exclusive collection.
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 and lids (and the jars are reusable). To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here!
