Picture this...You’re having a peaceful dream complete with harps strumming, daisy headbands, and skipping in a field full of fresh produce. You’re desperately craving a bowl of summer’s golden, ripe fruit. Only catch?...it’s not summer anymore! Well, you can kiss that end of the season swan song goodbye and help fuel local, organic businesses all at the same time.
 
Eating colorfully well all year long is simple. Start at your local farmers market. With directories all over the web, you can find a market/farm effortlessly. Check out “eat local” communities such as Local Harvest, a portal to farmers markets, Community Supported Agriculture(CSA) programs, and fellow followers of the modern food sustainability movement.
 
Once you’ve found the perfect seasonal produce, you can preserve all that goodness by canning. Ball, the jar experts themselves, sell every tool under the sun and give helpful canning tips to boot. Canning Across America and Simply Canning bring this art into the 21st century by teaching delectable recipes and essential safety practices.

 Now you can eat fresh all winter long!
