Well, I sure have!  My poor left-brain can’t handle “winging it” when it comes to canning, I want to know the formula.  Can anyone relate?

Hobby Farms.com has this super helpful poster than you can print and put on your frig!  That way, whether you grow your own produce or visit U-pick farms, you’ll be more prepared to provide nutritious food for your family!

PickYourOwn.org also has another wonderful calculator to help you, I have this printed and in my cookbook for reference.

Pickyourown.org has a wealth of information on their website, including a state-by-state guide to U-pick farms around the US!

With some forethought now, you’ll be well prepared when the growing/picking seasons hit!  Preparation is critical if you plan to grow a significant portion of your own food.  Start planning now!
