A visitor writes on August 05, 2008: "I stopped in
here on my way back home from Abilene, because they had their "peaches" sign
out. Many places near Brown County lost the peach crop to a late freeze this
year so I was excited to get fresh peaches. Oh they were excellent! I went
in mid-afternoon and there were still lots of beautiful fruit on the trees.
The trees are low and open so easy to get to. I don't know if they are
organic, but the owner told me to be sure and eat a peach at each tree to
test them before I picked! LOL! Nice people and great produce. I picked half
a bushel and put up preserves, peach marmalade, and peach chutney with them.
I will definitely visit the Childress farm again. :-)"

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
