You're right, it IS a lifestyle. And it seems canning is pretty easy. I think that I will start Tomatoes and Jelly. Seems like the beginner's choice. I hate wasting produce. And it tends to happen because I can't use it all at once. So, I am starting to test things out in the freezer to see if it will hold and retain its flavor. Can't wait to see what else I learn to freeze! :) I've never heard of rhubarb bread. Sounds yummy though. The only rhubarb I've really tried is when I go to Knott's Berry Farm for their famous chicken dinner (It's delicious!). @ Sharon: I can't wait to make it. It definitely still on my agenda. I will be sure to virtually share some with you. :) @ 1MansMoney: I am glad to hear its not too much more expensive. That is a definite concern of mine. But, I do know that what few organic veggies I have harvested from my wee teenie garden does taste soooo much better. So, I can imagine that all the organic produce has to be scrumptious! Yeah, for the wife! It's funny... cuz lately I have become acutely curious about everything I feed myself and my family. Why do I want to eat pesticides? I guess I am just starting to open my eyes to farming processes. @ April: Its one thing to read it and its another to live it. lol! You’re right, it IS a lifestyle.

I like your simple steps. When you get to that point of the year, canning is easier than you may think. It is also amazing what you can freeze (without tons of processing first). Our local Farmers Market opened this Saturday past. And at one stand? Rhubarb! I made rhubarb bread (wonderful stuff) with some of it and froze the rest for later. YUM! Farm to Table IS a lifestyle.
