This month's notes: August 2008: Blueberries are here all parts of the U.S. Peaches are here! Don't miss them! Blackberries are gone in the South but are still going strong in the north. Apples are coming soon! Find a blueberry festival, peach festival or apple festival near you! Organic farms are still not common, but any that are, have the word ORGANIC by their name!

Please tell the farms you found them here - and ask them to update their information!!!

Knapton’s Raspberries,Apples & Pumpkins - Raspberries, Apples & Pumpkins
Greenfield, MN. Phone: 763-479-1184. 

  • A visitor writes on July 23, 2008: "My friend and I had a fantastic experience at this farm. We called and asked about hours to be sure, and they were very friendly. When we arrived, the owner was kind enough to show us what patch to pick from and some tips to help us find the best raspberries. On a perfect sunny day like today, it was truly great to be able to have a place like this to pick delicious berries. Thank you to the owners for being so hospitable and contributing to our raspberry pie making! Great experience! "
  • A visitor writes on July 19, 2008: "Raspberries are SOOOO GOOD! This was our first time picking at Knapton's Raspberry Farm. It was the best patch we've been to in the metro area and would highly recommend it. The picking was excellent and we were delighted to learn that no pesticides were used. we are definitely going there again next year. "
  • A visitor writes on July 15, 2008: "We have gone to the Knapton's rasberry patch for several years. We've found the fruit exceptional and the owner's very friendly. We've gone out with our children and grandchildren and have never had a bad experience (other than sunburn). "

Blake: The truth of the encounter is often somewhere between the customer's and the farm's descriptions. There's no way for me to know whether Dave's account is accurate, and the farmer was a jerk, or whether, Dave has a bad experience and slanted it to make the farmer look bad.  One comment, either positive or negative shouldn't affect your decision to go. 

If you've been to the farm, tell me how you liked it, and whether Dave's experience was rare or commonplace!

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 and current pricing:
