No Garden? You Can Still Preserve the Harvest!

Don't have a garden?  You can still preserve the harvest!  Buy all you can from your local farmer (Have you taken the 30 day 100 Mile Challenge?) and farmers markets, then preserve your bounty for later!

For freezing you will need some necessary equipment:

  • Baking Sheets
  • Freezing Bags
  • Stock Pot
  • Knives and good Cutting Board
  • Pots to boil water and bowls for cold water to shock before freezing
  • Freezer space.
We will cover other methods of food storage in later posts.

Today we are working on some Asparagus.  It is almost time for the Asparagus to disappear from your farmers offerings so better hurry because this is last minute.
