Chronicles of a nutrient-dense vegetable grower, harvest preserver, maple syrup producer and maker of healthy choices
2025 Canning Totals
|
Hello Reader, As I've been emptying canning jars left and right lately, I think back to the summer months when I worked my butt off putting up this food to enjoy during the cold months. Reader, have you ever opened a jar filled with something you grew or made yourself? Knowing it came straight from your own backyard—that you planted it, tended it, and preserved it with your own hands—there’s no middleman involved. It’s an incredibly satisfying feeling and a true sense of food security. Each year, I challenge myself to grow more, preserve more, and do it even better than the year before Here are my canning totals this year. Yes, some of these items we do sell to our customers.
We are working on something behind the scenes. Hoping it will make some customers happy this summer. More info to come... That's it for now. Could this be our last snow storm this season? Your farmers, Michelle and Keith P.S. The wait list for the pick your own flower's will be closing down soon. Are you on it? Only those on the list will get the specifics. Get on the list. |

Hello Reader, Yes, still here but really enjoying the down time. A quick email for you today. Today, I made my dad's homemade caramel recipe. Fond memories of my childhood. Of course one of the ingredients, Karo syrup. I haven't used this stuff for a very long time. I wanted to pass along a tip. Some of you may know it but here we are. I substituted Golden Syrup for the Karo syrup. You can also use Brown Rice Syrup. Tastes amazing and a healthier substitute. So as you bake for the holidays...
