A full pantry is a beautiful thing!  Home canning and preserving should be addressed because once those tomato and cucumbers start humming folks have more than they can eat fresh. They are going to hear a lot of scary stories about canning their own food and they are going to need to push past that to learn how to can and dry their food.  Even Oregonians can sun dry food, we have our sunshine just at the right time.  My family lives on our small homestead in Southern Oregon and we "put up" as my grandmothers would say about 300 quarts a year.  In fact I think I'm going to open up a quart of peaches as I enjoy the rest of your program, you all are making me hungry...
