Hello Harvest Forum frequenters!! I'm so glad to have found this forum. Finding real life people who do canning and abide by current safety practices is pretty hard to come by where I live. I'm grateful to see the information here by those insistent on encouraging food safety. I've been reading this forum all day, and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ellen, I live in Southeast Missouri. I have 4 children, including a set of twins. I own and operate a greenhouse business and a flower gardening service in my small town, population about 5,000 in the city. I've been in business for 6 years but have been a Horticulturist by student and profession for 10 years. Being insanely busy with flowering plants, greenhouse production, and public gardening as my focus, vegetable gardening and preserving is actually quite new for me. It's been many many years since such a passion has consumed me such as this has!!
As a business owner in this economy, penny pinching every way possible is a MUST. Making every dollar count....Heck, making every dime count, has become a daily norm with every single decision. This same practice has transformed my home management. I'm just flat out tired of spending $30 a day to feed my family food that is over processed, sugar and corn syrup laced, artificial everything, and questionably innacurate nutrition labels that the government allows descreptencies. We're paying money for all that??! Really?!
And so the canning and preserving passion took off.
I look forward to getting to know each of you!
