events to add and feedback about any you have visited, so if you encounter any,
just click on the preceding link, as appropriate! And if you have a farm and want to
add it or correct the

Remember to ALWAYS either email, call or click the link to
the farm's own website (if they have one) on the morning before you go,
to confirm hours, conditions and availability of the specific crops you want!
We also have our own free and
simple, step-by-step,

instructions on canning, freezing and drying many fruits and
vegetables, such as how to make jam,

you are looking
for Canners,
mixes, jars, pectin and other canning supplies at the best prices anywhere!
Remember: ALWAYS call (or follow the link to the farm's own website, if the name
is a blue link) to confirm the information before you go! They may close,
run out or change events, times, etc. without notifying me!
I only found two PYO farms in this area! Know of any others?

A visitor writes on June 13, 2009:
"I went to Adamek Orchards after calling and finding out on
their answering machine that there were no more peaches for this
year and that the blackberries were still available. I believe
going early in the morning for any fruit pays off since it isn't
too hot and no one else is likely to have picked over them. My
experience on June 15th was a pleasant one. My children and I
picked almost 35 pounds in just a couple fun hours. They owners
were not around, but had plenty of signs advising pickers where
to pick up buckets and pick blackberries. My family's sympathy
goes out to the Adamek's as we have learned that the owner,
founder, and heart of Adamek Orchards passed in October. "
A visitor writes on June 13, 2009: "The peaches were
sparse and rotten. Couldn't find any blackberries, and no one
was around to ask. We had checked the website and called prior -
no mention of moldy, buggy peaches in either place. Very
disappointing - we drove a long way. "

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
