New Jam's and Jelly's

This time of year we always offer specials on last seasons Jam's and Jelly's that are left over.  That way we always offer the freshest product.  If you order through NebraskaFood.org then you will be able to take advantage of our special pricing in February and March.

All our Jam's and Jelly's are made with local honey as sweetener.  We never over power the natural taste of the fruits and veggies with sweetener.  Most of our Jam's and Jelly's are made with our own fruits and vegetables that are naturally grown.  When we do outsource our products we always use organic.  We often freeze the freshest produce for jelly and jam making in the winter months.

This week we are making Strawberry and Peach jams...............YUMMMMM

What Happens When Your Farmer Breaks Her Arm?

You do have a farmer, right?  Someone locally that raises some of your food.  It's common knowledge that food grown locally is higher in nutrients simply because it's fresher, if for no other reason.  Your local farmer is someone you can trust, he grows the fruits and vegetables the way you'd grow them, if you could; clean and pure, without GMO contamination, pesticides and herbicides.

Heritage Harvest Home(stead) can be your local farmer if you live in southeast Nebraska or even into Iowa and Missouri.

If we are your farmer you'll already know that Jean broke her arm at the shoulder in early November.  The first Dr said that it would NEVER heal and that I would have a frozen shoulder, second Dr has said that I may only have 90% movement but my therapist thinks anything is possible and I could get 100%, I'm going for that one.  At any rate we have another 9 months until healing and therapy is complete.

Additionally this set of grandparents are now parenting a 1 year old granddaughter who brings us all kinds of joy and needs lots of attention.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooo, we have decided to go into training mode!  We are now offering a special HOMESTEAD TRAINING CLASS that will go from mid-March through October in three sessions; Spring, Summer and Fall.  We will cover all things HOMESTEADING from our 30 years of experience in growing our own foods and moving from the city to the country.  In exchange for HOMESTEADING CLASSES you will work beside us and for us, receive the training and a box of Fruits and Vegetables every week.  It's a win, win!!!  We help you by passing on knowledge and you help us in a time we really need it!

We have a bunch of applicants and will accept only 6 for each season with preferences to someone who wants to participate for all three seasons.  We will be choosing our participants with in the week.  If you want to be considered send us an email with your name, address, email address, experience and why you'd like to participate to our EMAIL addy.
