backyard. Its really cute, they don't have a lot of blueberry bushes so as
the first varieties are picked over they "close" for a week to let the
second and third variety ripen to make picking worth it. They are organic
(not certified) but wonderful - 60 cents a pint for organic blueberries!
This past weekend 6/28/09 they were closed until 7/4 to let the second
variety of blueberries ripen. "

the Surf and Turf farm at Egg Harbor city, NJ. It was an easy drive
from the shore (Long Beach Island), about 35 minutes, and easy to
find. While it's near the end of the season, we still filled 3
buckets in a short time. There were other crops in the field, too,
and it was nice to show the kids what broccoli looks like in the
ground. The people were friendly and helpful. There's no bathroom,
so plan ahead. Bring your own pail."

"I just wanted to say how much i love your site. I was looking for a "new"
place to U-Pick strawberries, as the place I used to go has become rather
reginmented, and has way too many rules... Decided on Hallick farm and had
the best time, great strawberries, great staff, GREAT prices!!! WE called in
between the rain storms and they always gave a good update, (it rained alot
and I called alot) and honest as to conditions and amount of berries. She
has jars and pectin too, saved me a trip to the store twice. CAN'T WAIT TO
GO BACK FOR SWEET CORN!!! But I really wanted to write and thank you for
your site, (I have so far only canned fruit jams, but am ready to move on to
more.) You really have a knack for those links-- they are great for anyone
who is not to sure how to do something. Your explanations are so clear, and
your writing style so "normal" that I feel like I'm talking to a friend. I'm
not the most computer savvy person and you have it all set-up so EASY!!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! "

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
