News from the Farm,
Rent our Farm. A visitor writes: "They have some goats, llamas, etc that you
can purchase food to feed. They have a playground for kids. They
take you to the orchard via hayride. They have pumpkins and
other activities including a hay maze in the fall. They are very
kid friendly and a lot of fun to go to, and about the same
distance as Fredericksburg." UPDATE April 20, 2008:
Their website says they are phasing out blackberries and
peaches, to grow more Christmas trees.
A visitor writes on
October 24, 2009: "We visited on 10/24 and had a great time.
Our kids are 1 & 2 years old, and there was so much to keep them
occupied. We were also very happy that we weren't nickel and
dimed to death. The $8 admission was so reasonable for
everything the kids had to do, and the only extra was face
painting (worth the extra $3); food and pumpkins. The food was
very good, and I was able to feed my family of 4 for $20. The
pumpkin prices were also reasonable. This farm family is
providing fun that people can afford and I really appreciate
that. I would recommend this farm for anyone with little kids. " -

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
