This page provides a detailed list of West Virginia'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!
We also have our own free and
simple, step-by-step,
illustrated
instructions on canning, freezing and drying many fruits and
vegetables, such as how to make jam,
apple
butter, applesauce,
spaghetti
sauce, salsa,
pickles,
ketchup or
freezing
corn . If
you are looking
for Canners,
mixes, jars, pectin and other canning supplies at the best prices anywhere!
Remember: ALWAYS call (or follow the link to the farm's own website, if the name
is a blue link) to confirm the information before you go! They may close,
run out or change events, times, etc. without notifying me!

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
