Last week, All Things Considered ran a story called "During Tough Times, Canning Makes a Comeback." (Listen to their story here, if you like.) All over the US, people are asking their older neighbors to show them how to put up food or learning from books. The company that owns the popular Ball line of canning products, says it has already seen a 30 percent increase in sales of jars and lids this year!
The library has plenty of books you can borrow on canning and preserving if you want to brush up or learn how for the first time.
And here's the perfect reason to start canning: Stratford's farmers' market is up and running again for the summer. The market will be held every Monday from June 29th to October 2nd (1 - 6 pm) at DeLuca Field's overflow parking lot in the South End of Stratford.
