when I had my organic garden. So nice to use exceedingly tasteful home grown food.

A very lot of work involved, but truly worth it.

I started tapering off my canning/freezing when I discovered that I couldn't eat/use it all and was giving most of it away. The recipients were grateful, but truth be told, there is an expense involved.

No garden here at my condo, but the farmer's market is only a few blocks away!
