Dive in and enjoy the peace of mind that begins with a well-stocked pantry.” —LAURIE NEWMAN, founder, Common Sense Home, blogger at www.commonsensehome.com—
“Books on canning and preserving are a dime-a-dozen, but from the very first page, I could tell this one was different. Rather than approaching the topic with the usual textbook formality, Ann brings a human touch to the subject and makes me feel like I’m in her kitchen chatting about preservation methods over a cup of tea. From canning to root cellaring and everything in between, I will wholeheartedly be recommending The Farm Girl’s Guide to Preserving the Harvest to anyone ready to start taking charge of their food supply and preserving their harvest.”—JILL WINGER, founder, The Prairie Homestead, blogger at www.theprairiehomestead.com, author of The Prairie Homestead Cookbook—
