Pick-your-own farms in
Quebec, Canada
This page provides a detailed list of
Quebec, Canada's pick- your- own (PYO, U-pick, upickem,
pick-it-yourself) farms. I'm always looking for suggestions of more farms and
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 information, please let me
know!
Would someone like to help me translate this into a French version,
too? If so, write me via Feedback!
And if you want simple
illustrated, instructions on making and canning many common items, like how
to make jam, applesauce, apple butter, spaghetti sauce, salsa, fruit pies, freezing vegetables, putting
up peaches, green beans, etc., just click here.

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 and lids (and the jars are reusable). To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here!
