I sure wish that more people felt the same way about farming and conservation these days. Why does it seem to take times of great need or strife to get people to do what they ought to do every day anyway?
Enjoy the images, and check out www.good-potato.com for more neat old posters.
I love these. Thanks for posting them! Oh, how I would love to can some stuff...I don't have a canner or any of the equipment and buying right now is out of the question! :(
ReplyDeleteWater bath canners are not that expensive at all. It's the pressure canners that will set you back some serious dough. I don't have a pressure canner, but my mama does. ;)
ReplyDeleteI completely understand tight finances. Oh, buddy, do I. :|
Oh I love these posters - and I cannot wait to start canning this summer. And with the garden planted and the tomatoes growing - I cannot wait! Hope you aren't stressing too bad with the packing and the moving:)

those posters are so cool!! I want them in my kitchen :) I was lucky enough (depending on your definition of lucky) to inherit a pressure canner from my husbands grandma. It works (so I've been told) but I'm terrified of it, its over 60 years old!! guess I need to get over my fear before my tomatoes come into season here :)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean, Andrea! I always have my mom with me when we use the pressure canner because I'm afraid that I'll blow the kitchen up if I do it myself.
ReplyDeleteI knew a gal who was canning with one, and her husband, in his infinite wisdom, decided to ignore the bit about slowly releasing the pressure with the valves, and instead just popped the top off. He spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning fruits and veggies off of his kitchen ceiling. ;)
Oh dear. That would be something I would do. You should have been here for the exploding Pyrex incident. :(
ReplyDeleteOk, now I kind of need to hear that story, Michelle. :)
ReplyDeleteWe had an exploding pyrex too! And my youngest was in the kitchen on her little bassinette when it happened. Thank God none of the glass or sizzling hot chicken grease got her! Boy, was that a pain in the butt to clean up.
I love these posters. I would love to have some of these to take to work. There is so much waste in the food industry. I find that as a housewife as well as a chef, I am a lot more aware than most of the guys!I take home buckets of fillet steak for my dog. Sometimes he shares it with my family!
