Canning or "putting up" vegetables for the Winter is a lost art for most. Too easy for those that have a little money to go buy it, and the EBT card feeds the poor.. Again, its becoming a lost art.

I remember being in Cub Scouts and touring the Weis Dairy Farm out on 9 Mile Road (back when that area was referred to as "way out on 9 Mile Road"). We learned a lot about dairy farming on that trip, and I remember it to this day. Those are great looking veggies, but I don't think the little girl likes the banana pepper very much. I hope this will help kids learn that food doesn't always come in a box from the freezer section at the grocery store, and that fresh produce is the best. We grew vegetables in a garden when I was young, too, and it was great fun to taste the "fruits" of our work. Wow, this is great!
