Quarter Amish

I am a 4-H Youth Development Educator and have been gardening and preserving the bounty for over 40 years. I love my garden and I love the products I have preserved by water-bath canning, pressure canning, dehydrating and freezing! Recently I offered a 4-H food preservation: pressure canning program walking you through the step by step process of using a pressure canner to preserve low acid and combination foods you can enjoy throughout the year. If you are interested in preserving meat, poultry, seafood, and low acid vegetables, Check out the program video at the link below.

Sometimes things take precedence over other things….. The Berry Farm will be closed today because we have the privilege of moving our son and his family into their first home!  The farm will be open tomorrow for picking.  We suggest early morning picking due to the extreme heat. Thornless Blackberriesare ready for picking! The berries are big, juicy and delicious!  Morning is the best time to pick for both you and the berries, as the heat of the day is rough on both. We have blackberries in a high tunnel green house so you can pick rain or shine.  Most of the blackberries can be picked standing with little or no stooping! We still have red raspberries, but they are coming to a close.  If you want red raspberries, now is the time to come and pick! The berries are ready for picking! Red Raspberries are $5 a pound; a quart is about 1 and a third pounds.
