Reaping the Rewards: Preserving Summer's Bounty


As gardens overflow and farmers' markets burst with colorful produce, summer and early fall offer a golden opportunity to preserve nature's abundance. Taking the time to store, freeze, or dehydrate seasonal fruits, vegetables and herbs brings numerous benefits:


  1. Savings: Stock up when prices are low, saving money on off-season produce.

  2. Nutrition: Preserve nutrients at their peak, ensuring nutrient dense meals year-round.

  3. Flavor: Enjoy summer-fresh tastes during winter months.

  4. Reduced waste: Prevent excess produce from spoiling.

  5. Food security: Build a pantry to weather unexpected shortages or emergencies.

  6. Connection to seasons: Deepen your appreciation for nature's cycles.

  7. Culinary creativity: Experiment with new recipes and preservation methods.


By preserving summer's bounty, you're not just saving food – you're capturing a bit of sunshine for the colder months ahead. Grab my produce preservation tips here!
