This Saturday the Georgia Organics sponsored a trip to a commercial cannery and processing plant. It was so interesting. Anyone can use it, you bring the food you want to can and your jars if you are going to use tin cans they have a supply of them. There are big tables, cookers, steamers, juicers, and pressure cookers. The meat processing part is in a separate room with more tables, saws, vacuum pack machine, curing locker, hanging locker and a locker you can rent space in to keep your meat frozen. The people that work there are wonderful. And will help you if you need it.
I came home and canned my salsa. it took me all day to chop and assemble all the ingredients and then I can only put 7 quarts in my canner at a time. At the Cannery I could put 90 cans in at a time. This will take some thinking and planning to go to the cannery .
My quest to eat all organic has proven to be a little more difficult then I thought it would. I can't find organic food. Yes I have gotten some but to find 50 lbs of tomatoes is hard to find. I'm still searching for a organic farmers I can just go out and buy mu veggies from.
More later
