Eating delicious home grown produce is right up there with winning the billion dollar Powerball. I'm not stretching the truth one bit. I've never won at Powerball (or know anyone who has), but have eaten home grown fruits and vegetables that are worth way more than winning a game of chance that you'll probably never win. 
Now that you have all this great produce, what next? You've shared and donated, why not preserve your extras for another homegrown taste experience mid-winter when three feet of snow has just fallen? Preserve the taste of summer with sweet, flavorful peaches. Add backyard grown fresh and vibrant tomato flavor to your signature lasagna dish. Don't stop with just peaches and tomatoes. Many different fruits and vegetables can be preserved, fermented or made in to jams, jellies, salsas and green chile - now we're talking! Don't know how to can, ferment or pickle or need a refresher? Maybe you're planning on growing more produce next summer to preserve or possibly start a cottage food business and you'd like to know more about the Colorado Cottage Food Act? There's a class for just about everyone on preserving produce - even making sauerkraut!
