Berry Orders, and new orders for grain/beans

The berry orders are in! They will be delivered tomorrow and Wendy W. will pick them up and put them in her freezer until we pick them up. Let's try to be timely so that her freezer isn't bogged down!
I have had some questions about ordering grain/beans from our very own hometown Fresno Feed and Grain. There is interest in getting together an order for regular rolled oats and adzuki beans. If we order large quantities, we generally get a better price. Is anyone interested in ordering anything else? If you have questions, go to their website (listed on our blog) and let me know what you are interested in ordering.
I am looking to borrowing the dry pack canner again in January, so let's be ready to get cracking! Make sure you purchase your cans, lids, etc, before we obtain the canner.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Water barrels, berries, and dry canner

I spoke with Lauren H this morning. They will be taking orders for water barrels for one more week only! Please let me know asap if you would like to order.
Berry and fruit orders will also only be taken until Wednesday, October 12th. If we get enough orders, we will qualify for a $3.00 per case discount. Please contact me about these asap also. For info on what you can order, go to www.bithellfarms.com
On Tuesday (10/11) I will pick up the dry pack canner and have it available for one week. If you have product that you would like to dry can, please let me know.
Winter idea: I am going to pick up compost this winter from Gallo Winery. They sell the compost by the truckload, and it is very inexpensive. If you are thinking of composting, keep this in mind. I plan on doing this most probably in early January.
If you have any questions on provident living, please contact me.
