I'm planning to expand my vegetable garden this year, since my husband just got notice that his job will be gone the end of the month, I thought that I would start filling up the pantry. While I was at the local store stocking up on canning jars I felt a tap on the shoulder. There were two women, and they asked me if I give lessons on canning. I got their phone number and told them that I'll give them a call if I decide to give instructions.

I'm retired from the nursery business, but thought that this might be a great way to attract more business to a farm market, especially if customers come to your farm. You would certainly sell more vegetables, and I'm sure no one else is doing this.

Growing and preserving food for my family has always been second nature to me, and I guess there are many people out there that might want to learn. It's just a thought, but I think we are entering a new era.

From my own personal experience I can tell you that people love workshops and will pay for your knowledge.
