Went this morning with a friend - SO COOL! I've never seen so much produce in one spot in my whole life. Yes, if you want 80 watermelons, this is the place to get them. But they do small lots as well, which are perfect for home canning and freezing. The prices are incredible. I didn't buy anything but my friend got a bunch of stuff: 6 cartons of cherry tomatoes, 3 bags of shelled lima beans, 6 or 8 cartons of blackberries, two huge baskets filled with assorted veggies, and a bunch of other stuff I can't think of. Total bill: $55. To break down, I think she got the tomatoes for .60 a carton, the lima beans for $3/bag, and each basket was $7. Some guy walked out of there with 5 doz ears of corn for around $5.

I couldn't get anything because my weekend is filled up, but next week I will absolutely get a bunch of stuff to put in the freezer. :yay:

NOT Politically Correct!!
We donate food to various pantries and this sounds like a great place our co-workers can chip in and we can buy lots of fresh vegtables to donate!!! :buddies:

That was our day yesterday. I've been up since 5:30 finishing up my tomato puree. My house smells great.

Holy Sheet!

:faint:



Got back recent from the Market, and here is my haul:

12 pints of HUGE blackberries
1 1/2 bushel of pickling cucumbers
3 dozen ears of sweet corn
1 bushel hot peppers
3 pints of figs
1 flat of zucchini
50 lbs of tomatoes
1 quart green beans

I already have my jars sterilizing for making bread and butter AND dill pickles. Not sure what I'll tackle afterwards.

Seriously, that place is ridiculously fun.

:bann:

I do.

Call me crazy, but I still bought more of 'em.

I'm really digging this canning process, so I'll just toss 'em into a jar so that come wintertime, I'll have a little bit of homemade sunshine ready for me to use.


:biggrin:



Tomato sauce, tomato puree, tomato sauce with jalepano, spicy spaghetti sauce, regular spaghetti sauce, homemade salsa.

I LOVE fresh produce!
