 This month's notes: May 2012: Blueberries are ripe only during July in most places, don't miss them! 2011 is a great year for blueberries most areas! In general, strawberries are starting in the far northern and cooler areas, and finishing in most of the U.S., and are finished in the South. Peaches will be starting in July. See each state's crop availability calendar for more specific dates. Organic farms are identified in green!  See our guide to local fruit and vegetable festivals!. See easy canning and freezing instructions/recipes, canning equipment guide! Also make your own ice cream - see How to make ice cream and ice cream making equipment and manuals

Add / Suggest a Farm, Orchard or Farm Market to be Added to the Website!

There are always farms I just haven't heard about. I've tried to make the form as easy and brief as possible!  If you know of a farm, orchard or farm market that you think should be added to www.PickYourOwn.org (or the related websites), please tell me what you know about it here!  Click here to suggest a festival or event, instead of a farm.

If you want to comment or provide feedback about a farm that is ALREADY listed on the website, please use the Feedback form instead.

If you are the farm's owner, employee or you have very detailed information about the farm, DO NOT use this form - this is for visitors and customers.  Farmers, please use our detailed Add-My-Farm submission page (click here: Add My Farm).

 Otherwise, just tell me what you know about the farm here, and I'll try to find them! Anything you can tell me is helpful!

Ball home canning kit water bath canner

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 (and the jars are reusable)! There is also s simple kit with just the canner and rack, and a pressure canner, if your want to do vegetables (other than tomatoes). To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here!
