They may close, run out or change events, times, etc. without notifying me!NOTE: Some of the 616 area code numbers have changed to 269. Of course, neither the phone company nor the farms have let me know which, so if you get a disconnected message on a 616 number, try 269 instead.

Home Canning KitsThis 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 and lids (and the jars are reusable). To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here! For more information
