October beans are tasty and beautiful!
There is nothing like home canned grape juice.
One of my favorite summer pleasures is picking blackberries, black raspberries, raspberries, and wine berries.
For the love of strawberry season.
My famous (secret recipe) Strawberry Cranberry Jam.
Any day at the canning factory is always a great day! This is my happy place.
Purple pod beans are amazing! They are deep purple when picked off the vine. When you cook them and as the water gets hotter, their color turns green. I think the single bean in the top left picture is interesting. It is totally opposite from all of the other beans. It has a green exterior and purple interior.
There are hundreds of varieties of apples in Virginia. Our dehydrator is running non-stop to dry apples in the fall. Have you ever dehydrated zucchini? Both apples and zucchini make a nutrious, delicious, low calorie snack. We process them with the skins on for added nutrition.
Here is a peak into our pantry. I also store all dry ingredients in mason jars.
If you are not familiar with Bountiful Baskets Food Coop, you should check them out to see if they are in your area.
