(They have) Lots of fruit trees (apricot, peach, apples, etc) Some crops (zuchini, corn, etc.), pumpkin patch in the field" Comments from a visitoron September 27, 2010: "Went to visits from Kingman, Arizona and it was well worth the two hour drive. They had beautiful apples and zucchini and pickling cucumbers. One correction to your site is that they are only open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 7 am to noon. It was a great place with friendly folks and WONDERFUL apple cider that they press right there on site. Highly recommend this place to other folks. Get there early - they start to get busy the later you wait and then the good stuff is gone."

Below are links to pages with easy and reliable directions about how to can, preserve, freeze and make other goodies fromveggiess. Some of these require aPressure Cannerto prevent potential spoilage and
food poisoning, due to the low acid content of the food. For others, you
can use awater bath cannerOR aPressure Canner. I've noted what's
required for each, below, following each entry, with W for water bath, P for Pressure canner, and W, P for either may be used!
How to home-can pumpkin (in a cooked, cubed form)andwhy you shouldn't home-can the pureed forms. Note: Pumpkin is difficult
to can safely - it is a low acid food, so that rules out open water bath
canning immediately. Pressure canners can be used, but according to the
health authorities (like the National Center for Home Food Preservation)
only if the pumpkin is cubed, rather than mashed. I usually just freeze the
cooked pumpkin! - P
