Pick your own farms in Nevada
This page provides a detailed list of the state's pick- your- own (PYO, U-pick,
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 click on the link to "add my farm".
Remember to ALWAYS either email, call or click the link to
the farm's own website (if they have one) on the morning before you go,
to confirm hours, conditions and availability of the specific crops you want!!
And if you want simple
instructions how to make jam, how
to make apple butter or how
to make applesauce, just click here. To see the
crop availability seasons click here

Easter Egg
Hunt on March 22, 2008. A visitor writes, February 21, 2008: They have a
raspberry patch you can pick your own that my family takes advantage of
every year...it's our tradition. A pumpkin Patch. A corn maze. A small
animal petting place. A fruit/vegetable stand. A small bakery. And other
things. It's a really fun place to go. They sell homemade jams/breads etc...
It's locally owned and a very friendly place. They have a large picnic area
and you can reserve it for baby, wedding showers...I believe they have had
weddings there. Like I said above they have a corn maze, small petting zoo
and they provide hay rides as well.

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! To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here!For more information
