went on 3 July 2009 - the trees were loaded with Peaches, yellow and red

very easy to pick. The area around the trees were maintained ok - we could
drive our car all the way inside the orchard and around the trees. We can
easily spend about 2 hours, picking various fruits. "
Another visitor comments:
"Visited this
jumbo farm for the first time today. Friendly, helpful staff and fruit trees
as far as one can see. We almost got lost in the peach section. Great fruit.
Be sure to visit their restaurant--outstanding home cooking. Terrific
bargain within spitting distance of Memphis."

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
