Our Canning Seminar will be held on Saturday, May 26th from 9:00 – 11:00 am and we will cover the following topics:

1.  Pressure Canning

2.  Water Bath Canning

3.  Blanching (for the freezer)

4.  Jams and Jellies

5.  Pickling

 

The cost of the seminar is $30 and we will provide handouts and recipes for all covered topics. Please call 615-591-0015, or reply to this e-mail, to register for the event.

 

Canning classes are held a few times a year, so if you are unable to attend on May 26th, we will have two more sessions during the canning season.  The class is an actual two hour demonstration of pressure canning and water bath canning. The processes of preserving jams/jellies and pickles are also included. Five to ten people can attend, but never over 10...so it is personal and interactive. After the class, if you have any questions, you will have access to me by e-mail and phone, as long as you need.

 

We look forward to seeing you at the Farm!

FRANKLIN, Tenn. — Franklin civic leaders, historians and preservationists are encouraged by a recent allocation of $500,000 from the Tennessee Department of Transportation to be applied to construction of a Battle of Franklin park “loop road.”

This road would provide access for interpretation of acreage crossed by the Confederate right flank during the Army of Tennessee’s attack in the Nov. 30, 1864, battle.

Paul Gaddis, president of the local preservation group Franklin’s Charge, said the grant is “a huge step for us to have this ground interpreted by the battle’s sesquicentennial and is an incredible move by the state.”

We added an article on Rooster's before, but we think it needs another look. Brentwood, TN – Men have longed for the return of the classic American barbershop in Brentwood where they can get real men’s hair cuts, complete with hot facial shaves and men’s grooming services their fathers enjoyed at the local corner barbershop. The 21st Century man wants to get away from the constant chatter and gossip among women in the unisex salons.
