They moved from the typical \"house at the end of a cul-de-sac in a subdivision\" to a 11.6 acre farm almost ten years ago and haven't looked back! In addition to producing and preserving as much of their own foods as possible by canning, freezing, dehydrating, and freeze drying their garden harvests, they also operate a you-pick flower farm with different varieties of flowers throughout the year. Their goals are to share their farm with the community and to be as self-sufficient as possible, within the boundaries of what is realistic in today's world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Quarto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45738948362426,"sku":"9780760396148","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/2213\/5968\/files\/imageloader_7f806ddc-5114-4413-abfe-0402dc03a3a2.jpg?v=1774710817","url":"https:\/\/naturenurture.shop\/products\/the-preservers-garden-how-to-grow-a-garden-for-fermenting-canning-pickling-dehydrating-freeze-drying-and-more","provider":"nature+nurture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
