    A visitor writes on August 11, 2008: "I was talking to the owners of this farm and they said that they would like to be removed from this list. They were not the ones that posted and they have had misunderstandings of the directions to the farm and when the farm operates. They have had people from hours away drive only to be turned away because they were not open and were very upset. They said they sell enough berries by word of mouth. I told them that I would email the site and tell them because they do not use/have a computer. Thank you...and by the way, I LOVE your site. It's helped me put up a lot of fruit this year!

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!
