Preparing, canning, and preserving your produce
While we know you will enjoy eating your vegetables fresh, we also hope that you will be interested in canning, freezing, or preserving your produce.
Through email and via the Langford Farms CSA group on Facebook (members only), we will provide information about the specific varieties of produce you receive, links to recipes using your fresh vegetables, and videos on how to can your produce.
