You are working your butt off, Unk. I spent the morning splashing in the Waikiki surf and the evening dancing at Jimmy Buffett's "Margaritaville" Night Club. Will do the same tomorrow. To each his own. lindybill@fiddlewhileromeburns.com

The food co-op I belong to is supplied by a few old time farmers, the majority of suppliers are people who are relatively new to farming. The guy who supplies the grass fed beef used to be a portfolio manager in New York. This is not a movement relegated to Mother Earth News readers any more, it's gone mainstream.

I asked her to look at dehydrating some to eliminate the need for the freezer. Why, don't you like jam? Any thing acid (fruits and tomatoes) cans very easily is a water bath. I use no more equipment than a stock pot to put up enough jam for the winter.

On a smaller scale, we've been doing what you are doing for years, but I still haven't figured out how to dry fruit in my dehydrator to my satisfaction. I can or freeze everything we grow. Winter squash keeps in a cool pantry for a whole year, although Acorn are more susceptible to molding so we eat that first. Look for canning jars at garage sales.......they are expensive new. Also look into how to wood smoke the fish you catch. It will keep for a very long time. That old Hickory might make some very good cooking/smoking wood.
