I have a little church 2 blocks from my place that rents out the lower level for many things. I can go check the kitchen and cost out. This would work well for my mom and I since neither of us can drive... and if something is needed I can always walk back home and grab it. But its a long way from many of ya so I dunno.

We will be canning about 25-50 chickens from Scott (patriot farms) sometime next month. He has a batch of Roos that he will be culling. Mom and I are on a tight budget so we have been trying to gleen anything we can as well as buy bulk meats and can it. We have a ton of jars and I know of many places to get wild berries or fruit from "lost" trees. I'm still hunting for a clean patch of salal (not sprayed with anything.) and huckleberries.

If anyone knows of a old orchards or fields not used but still growing?

I have an old apple orchard, but I don't spray, and the fruit has scab, and who knows what else.

OMG Hallerlake...
I feel your pain.

I've been building a duck coop all weekend too! & I am (*&#$#*@& sore.
I cheated a bunch & got the wood pre cut at home depot. That was a lot of cutting.
Here it is, still needing to be disassembled, reassembled at the duck run & the roof, door & ramp slapped on.
Rainwolf....that work party for hallerlake sounds great!!
I'll go with my handy dandy tools!( & bandaids...for me. ) if you'll bring some of that canned treasure you mentioned to share??????

I know of a few trees, But nothing is growing now

I've also seen mushrooms in the spring.

Then...in June, there is free shell fish...OYSTERS

...to collect during free fishing weekend.
We should all mark our calenders for that one.

I can give you a ride.
