A visitor writes on July 11, 2008: "This farm says they are open on
their voice mail. No one ever answers (it's ALWAYS pre-recorded) and the
voice mail tells you the days and hours they are open and to "just come on
by". That would be great if they were infact open when they say they are,
but they are not! Twice we made the 45 minute drive out there (during their
stated "open" times) and twice their gates were locked. That is not
acceptable. I wonder how many other people have been inconvienced by their
poor organization. There should be a way to rate farms so other people know
of these problems, or at least flag them with a warning. -Tara"
A visitor writes on July 15, 2008: "I noticed that someone wrote they
are not open, and can't be reached by phone. I have not yet gone there, but
I have called a couple of times this spring/summer, and always get someone
on the phone. "
Note from Blake: When people write in with feedback, positive
or negative, about a farm, I post it next to the listing (as above), with
the exception of obscene comments and obvious pranks.

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
