Fall Gourds at Market

Hello BFM fans,

As the seasons change, what is in the
market changes as well. This is our favorite season because we have all the
summer produce and the Fall ones as well. It is a particularly good time to can
so you can enjoy your favorites all year! Here are some canning recipes you can
try one for tomatoes and one for apples. Here is an article that helps to guide you if you are a beginner to canning. We highly recommend Cathy Barrow’s award winning book about preserving food: Mrs. Wheelbarrow’s Practical Pantry.
